Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius (fan forced).
Grease a 24 hole mini muffin tin and set aside.
Cut each pastry sheet into 12 squares and press into the bases of the muffin tin.
Cut the brie cheese into 24 equal sized pieces.
Place the cheese into the pastry base.
Top the cheese with 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Add a small sprig of fresh rosemary (optional).
Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastry is lightly golden and puffed.
Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Cranberry sauce - either a whole cranberry sauce or a cranberry jelly is suitable to use.
Keep it cold: Brie and pastry should both stay chilled until ready to use – this makes it easier to cut the brie, and the pastry bakes up perfectly.
Don’t overfill: A small teaspoon of cranberry sauce is plenty – it will bubble as it bakes.
Use a non-stick mini muffin tin: This helps the pastry keep its shape and makes removal easier.
Prep ahead: Assemble in the tin up to a few hours ahead, or even overnight, then refrigerate until baking time.
Serve warm: Best served straight from the oven while the cheese is soft and melty.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days – reheat gently in the oven until warm.
Freezing: Not suitable for freezing.
Presentation tip: Serve on a platter with sprigs of rosemary or a scattering of pomegranate seeds for a festive look!
