Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter, optional
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out to a 12×12 inch square.
- Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter or knife, cut out circles from the puff pastry.
- Press each circle into a mini muffin tin (you may need to gently stretch them).
- Place a cube of brie into each puff pastry cup.
- Top each brie cube with about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with melted butter (optional, for extra golden color).
- Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a nutty flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before air frying. Serve with crackers or baguette slices for dipping.
