For the Crust:
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 12-15 small tree shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
- Place pastry trees on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with egg wash, then layer brie cubes and cranberries on top, leaving a border.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until pastry is golden and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
