Ingredients
  

1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

8 oz. brie cheese, cut into small cubes

1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (use breakfast sausage for a sweeter flavor)

½ cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth them out, and then cut each sheet into 3-inch squares.

      Place a square of puff pastry onto the baking sheet, and top each square with a small piece of brie cheese.

        Add a spoonful of the cooked sausage on top of the brie, followed by a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.

          Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if you like, sprinkle some fresh thyme leaves on top of the filling for extra flavor.

            Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the filling, pinching them together to seal the bites, ensuring that the cheese and sausage do not spill out.

              Brush the tops of the sealed pastry with the beaten egg to give them a nice golden color when baked.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

                  Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
