Cranberry Brie Bites in 27 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the 1 sheet puff pastry. Use your pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 even squares (about 2 inches each). Note: Square shapes allow the corners to peek over the muffin tin for a rustic look.
2. Cut your 8 oz brie cheese wheel into 24 small cubes, roughly 3/4 inch each. Leave the rind on! Bake 12 minutes until the pastry is golden and crackling. Note: Keeping the rind on prevents the cheese from disappearing into the pastry.
3. Press each pastry square into the holes of a non stick mini muffin tin. Place one cube of brie in the center of each cup.
4. Top the cheese with about 1 teaspoon of the 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce. Don't overfill, or it will boil over and stick to the pan.
5. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans over the cranberry sauce before sliding the tray into the oven.
6. Slide the tin into the center rack. Bake for 12 minutes. You are looking for the pastry to shatter when touched and the cheese to be soft and slumped.
7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the fresh rosemary needles. The residual heat will wake up the oils in the herb without burning it.
8. While the bites are still in the tin, drizzle the 1 tbsp honey over the top. This creates that Amber Glow we talked about earlier.
9. Let them sit in the tin for 5 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly so they don't fall apart when you move them.
10. Transfer to a wooden serving board. This dish pairs beautifully with a [Christmas Punch recipe](https://tastyrecipescorner.com/recipes/spiced-christmas-punch-bowl-recipe/) for a complete holiday spread.
