Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Phyllo Pastry:
   • Lay out the thawed phyllo pastry sheet on a clean surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the sheet into squares or rectangles, approximately 2x2 inches in size.
3. Assemble the Brie Bites:
   • Place a cube of brie cheese in the center of each phyllo pastry square.
   • Top each cube of brie with a small dollop of cranberry sauce.
4. Fold the Pastry:
   • Gently fold the corners of the phyllo pastry squares up and over the brie and cranberry filling, creating little bundles.
5. Brush with Butter:
   • Place the assembled brie bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the pastry bundles with melted butter, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Bake:
   • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the phyllo pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the brie cheese is melted and gooey.
7. Serve:
   • Remove the Cranberry Brie Bites from the oven and let them cool slightly.
   • Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired, for a festive touch.
   • Serve warm and enjoy these irresistible bites as a delightful holiday appetizer!
