02 - Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into 24 equal squares.
03 - Place each square into a cup of a 24-cup mini muffin tin, gently pressing to form a base and sides.
04 - Place one cube of brie cheese into the center of each pastry cup.
05 - Spoon 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the brie in each cup.
06 - Brush the exposed edges of the pastry lightly with the beaten egg wash to promote browning.
