– 8 oz brie cheese
– 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Ingredients:** Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow the phyllo dough cups to thaw if frozen. Remove the rind from the brie cheese and cut it into small cubes.
2. **Fill the Phyllo Cups:** Place the phyllo dough cups on a baking sheet. Add a small cube of brie cheese into each cup.
