Equipment

Ingredients

1 Can crescent roll dough
6 Ounces brie cheese about ¾ Cup
¼ Cup whole cranberry sauce
¼ Cup orange marmalade
¼ Cup pecans chopped
nonstick cooking spray for greasing
fresh rosemary sprig optional garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cooking spray onto a mini muffin pan.
Add the whole cranberry sauce and orange marmalade to a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
Slice the brie cheese into small, 1-inch squares using a sharp knife (feel free to leave the rind on). Set aside.
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a floured surface.
Use your fingers to press the perforated lines together so that the dough makes one large rectangle.
Using a sharp knife, cut the crescent roll dough into 24 equally-sized squares. Gently press each square into the mini muffin pan molds.
Add 1 cube of brie cheese, 1 tablespoon of cranberry-orange mixture, and a pinch of chopped pecans to each mini muffin.
Bake the bites for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden.
Allow the bites to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the mini muffin pan.
Garnish each bite with a small sprig of rosemary.

Notes

Use readymade pastry: It's so handy and nobody will know.
Make extra: Brace yourself for how fast these yummy little bites are going to vanish!
Serve warm: These puff pastry cranberry brie bites are best served warm from the oven, garnished with some fresh rosemary.
