Cute, tasty, fun, and easy. Whether you serve them at a weekend brunch or a holiday cocktail party, you can bet these bite-sized appetizers will be a crowd pleaser. Salty brie and tart cranberry is a classic combination, and the roasted pistachios not only lend a tasty crunch, but add an additional festive pop of color. These appetizers take only 20 minutes from start to finish, so you can prepare them minutes before your guests arrive. Serve immediately to get that signature gooey brie bite or add them to a charcuterie board along with your favorite pickles, cheeses, and preserved meats. For a fun variation, use a goat cheese brie.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, from 1, 17oz box
Nonstick cooking spray
4 oz. brie cheese
1/2 c. cranberry sauce, homemade or canned
3 tbsp. raw shelled pistachios, chopped
Flaky sea salt and ground black pepper, optional

Steps:

  • Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions.

  • On a well floured surface, roll the sheet of puff pastry into a 10x15-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry into 4 strips lengthwise. Then, cut the pastry crosswise into 6 strips, creating 24 squares. Press the pastry squares into each well of the muffin pan, letting the excess stick up over the edges.
