Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 8 oz brie cheese rind removed and cut into cubes
- ½ cup cranberry sauce thick, whole berry preferred
- 1 egg beaten (optional, for egg wash)

- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.

- Place one cube of brie into each pastry cup.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the brie.
- Sprinkle with nuts or herbs if using.
- Brush pastry edges lightly with egg wash, if desired.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until pastry is golden and cheese is melted.
