Step 2:

  • Lightly flour a work surface; roll puff pastry dough into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle.

  • Cut the dough into 24 (2½-inch) squares using a knife or pizza wheel (you'll end up with 4 rows of 6 squares each).

  • Top each with 2 teaspoons cranberry sauce.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  • Bake until the cheese is melted, and the pastry is golden, 16 to 18 minutes.

  • Let cool for 10 minutes in the tin before removing.
