04 - Place one Brie cube into each pastry shell. Top with one teaspoon of cranberry sauce and a pinch of chopped rosemary.
05 - Brush the edges of the exposed pastry with the beaten egg to promote browning.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
