Ingredients
  

For the Pastry & Cheese Filling
  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 8 oz brie cheese
  • 1 large egg wash
For the Spiced Cranberry Pecan Topping
  • 0.75 cup cranberry sauce
  • 0.5 cup pecans
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 0.25 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt

Method
 

Prep the Pastry & Muffin Tin
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Unroll cold puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 24 equal squares (a 4x6 grid) using a pizza cutter or sharp chef knife.
  3. Gently press each pastry square into the mini muffin cups, letting corners point upward.
Fill with Brie & Spiced Cranberries
  1. Place one cube of brie cheese into the center of each pastry-lined cup.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together cranberry sauce, orange zest, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans.
  3. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cranberry pecan mixture on top of each piece of brie.
  4. Brush exposed pastry corners lightly with egg wash.
Bake to Golden Perfection
  1. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14 to 16 minutes, until the puff pastry edges are deep golden-brown, puffed, and crisp, and brie is completely molten.
  2. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes (brie will be very hot). Garnish each bite with a tiny pinch of fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm!
