Notes

  • Serving size: 1 brie bite 
  • You may use crescent dough instead of the puff pastry. You will need 8 ounces.
  • The puff pastry usually comes frozen, leave overnight in the fridge to thaw.
  • You can use homemade cranberry sauce or store-bought that's freshly made or canned.
  • Nuts: you do not have to use pistachios. Other nuts like pecans or walnuts can be used.
  • Honey is optional if you do not want to use it, but it adds a nice touch.
  • You can add a small rosemary twig over each one.
