Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the puff pastry sheet until about ¼ inch thick. Cut into square or triangle pieces, about 3-4 inches in size.
  3. Place one piece of brie cheese in the center of each pastry square, followed by a spoonful of cranberry sauce.
  4. Gently fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create little pockets, sealing the edges well.
  5. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each pastry.
  6. Arrange the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme on top before serving.
