Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

- 0.5 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

- fresh thyme leaves or chopped pistachios (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out 24 circles. Re-roll scraps as needed.
- Press each pastry circle into the muffin tin wells to form small cups.
