Brie Bites - Ideas:

You can get creative with the fillings for your Brie bites. Instead of cranberry sauce, you can use a variety of other ingredients to suit your taste or the preferences of your guests. Here are a few alternative fillings:

Fig Jam: Fig jam pairs beautifully with Brie cheese and adds a sweet and slightly earthy flavor to the bites.
Apricot Preserves: Apricot preserves provide a sweet and tangy contrast to the creamy Brie.
Honey: Drizzle a small amount of honey over the Brie cheese for a touch of sweetness and a luscious texture.
Raspberry Jam: Raspberry jam offers a delightful combination of tartness and sweetness, complementing the richness of the cheese.
Caramelized Onions: Sautéed caramelized onions can add a savory and sweet component to the Brie bites.

How to make them:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into small squares or circles.
Place a small cube of Brie cheese on each pastry piece.
Top the cheese with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create little pockets.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
