Festive Cranberry and Brie Puff Pastry Bites

Ingredients (Makes 12 Bites):

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
4 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
3 Tbsp cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 tsp orange zest
1 sprig of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

Prep the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal squares.
Assemble the Bites: Place each square into a mini muffin tin, gently pressing the pastry down to form cups. Add a cube of brie into each cup.
Add the Cranberry Topping: Top the brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of orange zest and a hint of rosemary for a festive touch.
Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, flaky crust.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
