# List of ingredients:

01 - 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (approximately 8.8 oz)

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry to a 10 x 10 inch square. Cut into 16 equal squares.
03 - Place each pastry square into a cup of a 16-cup mini muffin tin, gently pressing to create a shell shape.
04 - Put one cube of Brie into each pastry shell. Spoon 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce atop the cheese and sprinkle with a pinch of chopped rosemary.
05 - Brush the exposed edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to promote browning.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
07 - Allow the tartlets to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully lift them from the muffin tin.
08 - Arrange the mini tartlets in a wreath formation on a serving platter. Optionally garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh rosemary sprigs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
