  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Roll out the thawed sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Center the Brie cheese on the puff pastry, and spoon the cranberry-pecan mixture over the top.
