3. Press each square into the muffin pan wells, corners overlapping slightly.
4. Place a cube of brie into the center of each pastry.
5. Top with 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce over the brie.
6. Brush exposed pastry edges with beaten egg.
7. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and brie is melted.

Notes
Make sure the puff pastry stays cold for best flakiness.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for clean pastry cuts.
Don’t overfill with cranberry sauce—just a teaspoon keeps it balanced and tidy.
