Pistachio Cranberry Brie Bites

Pistachio Cranberry Brie Bites

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry 

Nonstick cooking spray 

4 ounces brie cheese 

1/2 cup cranberry sauce 

1/8 cup jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped 

3 tablespoons raw shelled pistachios, chopped 

Flaky sea salt and ground black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions. 
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. 
  3. Roll the sheet of puff pastry into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Using a tumbler-size glass, cut rounds with the lip. Gently press the pastry rounds into the wells of the muffin pan. 
  4. Cut the brie into 1/2-inch-thick square slices. Place a piece in the center of each pastry. Top each with a dollop, about 1 teaspoon, of cranberry sauce. Sprinkle with jalapeño pieces, then chopped pistachios. 
  5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown on the edges and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove the bites from the pan and serve.
