Ingredients
  

Puff Pastry & Cheese Base
  • 1 sheet all-butter puff pastry, thawed but chilled
  • 8 oz double-cream French brie cheese wheel, chilled and cut into 24 cubes (approx. 3/4-inch)
  • 1 tbsp flour for rolling work surface
Festive Toppings & Garnish
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/3 cup raw pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp pure raw honey or hot honey for drizzling
  • 1 spray non-stick baking spray for muffin tin

Method
 

Preparation & Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick baking spray.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll thawed puff pastry sheet gently into a 10x15-inch rectangle. Cut into 24 even squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  3. Gently press each pastry square into a mini muffin cup, allowing corners to flare outward.
  4. Place one cube of chilled brie in the center of each pastry square.
  5. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of whole cranberry sauce on top of each brie cube, then sprinkle with finely chopped pecans.
Baking & Finishing
  1. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14-16 minutes until puff pastry edges are puffed and deep golden brown, and cheese is bubbling.
  2. Let rest in the tin for 4-5 minutes so the cheese slightly sets.
  3. Drizzle with warm honey and sprinkle with fresh minced rosemary. Lift out with a small spatula and arrange on a serving board warm.
