- 1 cup cranberry sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)

- Assemble the Bites: Place a square of puff pastry in each cavity of a mini muffin tin. Add a piece of brie cheese and top with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
