Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Cranberry Brie Bites ahead of time?

• Yes. You can assemble the bites in the muffin pan a few hours ahead of time, cover them, and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. For the best flaky texture, bake them just before serving.

Do I need to thaw the puff pastry first?

• Yes. The puff pastry should be thawed enough to unfold and roll without cracking, but it should still be cold when it goes into the muffin pan.

Should Cranberry Brie Bites be served warm or cold?

• They’re best served warm while the Brie is soft and gooey, although they’re still tasty at room temperature.
