Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares.
  3. Place a small piece of Brie cheese in the center of a pastry square, top with cranberry sauce, walnuts, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pinch the corners of each pastry square together to seal, forming a secure pouch.
  5. Beat the egg and apply a light coat of egg wash over the tops of the sealed pastries.
  6. Arrange Brie bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving warm, with extra cranberry sauce for dipping if desired.
