Method

  1. To make the Cheese and Cranberry Puff Pastry Bundles, start by unrolling the puff pastry, keeping the parchment paper it comes with.
  2. With a pastry wheel, cut it in half lengthwise, then make 3-4 crosswise cuts to get squares. The final number depends on the size of the pastry sheet, which varies by brand. What matters is that the pieces are as square as possible.
  3. Place a small piece of Brie and a few well-washed and dried cranberries in the center of each one. If you like, add a few marjoram leaves inside for fragrance.
  4. Close the puff pastry bundles by bringing the corners to the center and pressing firmly to seal. It is very important to keep the filling from leaking out during baking.

Variations and Alternatives

As mentioned in the introduction, you can use whichever type of cheese you prefer. French cheeses such as Camembert and Brie are excellent for this recipe. Also, instead of fresh cranberries, you can opt for a jam, which may be easier to find.

Tips

We recommend making the Cheese and Cranberry Puff Pastry Bundles almost at the last minute so the puff pastry doesn’t lose its flakiness.

Storage

Cheese and Cranberry Puff Pastry Bundles can be kept outside the fridge for 2 days, but keep in mind that after just a few hours the pastry will no longer be as crisp as when freshly baked.
