Ingredients<\/strong> For Cranberry Brie Puff Pastry Bites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Puff pastry<\/strong>: While you can make your own,<\/strong> I found it easier to use store-bought puff pastry for these savory pinwheels (about 17 ounces \/ 500 grams).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheese<\/strong>: Brie melts into this beautiful concoction. It\u2019s the most crowd-pleasing cheese ever. But I\u2019d suggest using whatever is locally available to you\u2014feta, goat cheese, or Camembert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cranberry<\/strong> (along with brie) is the star of these brie puff pastry bites. Dried cranberries are the best here, not fresh or frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts<\/strong>: You can leave out the walnuts or swap them with pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts; just chop them up finely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> lends that extra punch of savory flavor to the appetizer and also helps the filling adhere to the pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional toppings:<\/strong> Add a dollop of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar on hot-out-of-the-oven brie puff pastry bites if you like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make it\u00a0herby: Add chopped\u00a0rosemary or thyme\u00a0to the filling\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>sprinkle it as soon as the puff pastry pinwheels come out of the oven for that heady aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it\u00a0sweeter: I find the sweet and savory combination utterly delicious, and for me, this recipe finds the perfect balance. But if you want to make the puff pastry bites sweeter,\u00a0sprinkle cinnamon and drizzle some honey\u00a0in the filling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
