- Evenly spread cranberry spread, lengthwise, across the middle of puff pastry. Leave a 1/2-inch border at the top and bottom.
- Arrange brie slices horizontally on top of cranberry spread.
- Starting with your knife to the right of cranberry and brie filling, make cuts moving your knife towards the lengthwise edge of pastry to create four 2-inch-wide strips. Repeat on the left side of filling.
- Alternating strips from right and left sides, fold pastry strips over filling to cover. (TIP: For best results, make sure strips overlap and tuck the ends underneath the braid for a neater look!)
