Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Knife or pizza cutter
- Mini muffin tin
- mixing bowl
- Pastry brush
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 sheet gluten-free puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- fresh rosemary (optional garnish)
- chopped pecans or walnuts (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the puff pastry to smooth the seams. Cut into 24 equal squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Grease a mini muffin tin or use nonstick spray. Gently press each pastry square into the cups.
- Place a cube of brie into each pastry cup. Top with 1 tsp of cranberry sauce. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
- Beat the egg with 1 tsp water. Lightly brush the exposed pastry edges with the egg wash.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13–15 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a plate. Serve warm.
Notes
Use chilled brie for easy cutting and better shape retention while baking. Don’t overfill the cups to prevent overflow. Make them ahead and bake just before serving for best texture. Add chopped nuts, fresh rosemary, or a streusel topping for variations.
