Instructions

- Top each with 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Bake
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puff pastry is golden and cheese is melted.
- Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
- Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with rosemary or thyme, if desired.
- Optionally, drizzle honey for added sweetness.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

- Swap cranberry sauce for other jams (e.g., apricot, fig) for a different flavor.
- Add nuts like walnuts for texture or crushed red pepper for a spicy kick.
