<\/span>Equipment<\/span><\/h3>
  • Mini Muffin Tin<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>
    • 1<\/span> sheet<\/span> puff pastry<\/span> thawed (\u00bd of a standard box)<\/span><\/li>
    • 8<\/span> oz<\/span> brie cheese<\/span><\/li>
    • 3<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> cranberry sauce<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bc<\/span> cup<\/span> chopped walnuts<\/span><\/li>
    • Fresh thyme or rosemary leaves for garnish<\/span><\/li>
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
      • Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) and grease a mini muffin tin.<\/div><\/li>
      • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle or square, about 10\u00d712 inches.<\/div><\/li>
      • Cut the pastry into 16 squares, each measuring 2 \u00bd inches, to fit into the muffin tin cups.<\/div><\/li>
      • Cut the brie into small pieces to snugly fit into each muffin cup.<\/div><\/li>
      • Press a puff pastry square into each muffin cup, add a piece of brie, and top with a small spoonful of cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of walnuts.<\/div><\/li>
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and the brie has melted.<\/div><\/li>
      • Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. The easiest way to remove the brie appetizer bites from the muffin tin is to run a knife around the outside of each muffin cup and then use a small spoon to scoop it out.<\/div><\/li>
      • Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary leaves, and a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper. Serve warm.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
        <\/div>\n

        <\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>
        \n
        The rind on the brie cheese is edible and bakes well, but you can remove it if preferred.<\/span><\/span>
        <\/div>\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\nThese bites can be assembled ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake, perfect for entertaining.<\/span><\/span>
        <\/div>\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\nFor a perfect fit in a mini muffin tin, ensure the puff pastry squares are about 2 to 2.5 inches on each side.<\/span><\/span>
        <\/div>\n
        \u00a0<\/div>\nExperiment with different jams or nuts for a variety of flavors.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[134,2019,618,559,696,1712],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-american","category-appetizer","category-baked","category-french","category-snack","category-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Brie-Appetizer.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6457"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6758,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6457\/revisions\/6758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhiggs.x10hosting.com\/foodie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
