Here’s what you’ll need to make pork and brie puff pastry bites:
- Puff pastry
- Smithfield Slow Roasted Golden Rotisserie Pork Tenderloin or Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Pork Tenderloin
- I’ve tried both flavors of the Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin . . .they’re both delicious, packed with protein, and made with 100% fresh pork, but without artificial ingredients!
- These fresh pork tenderloins are my go-to for delicious, quick and easy recipes during the holiday season. Why? Because helllloooo they’ve already been perfectly seasoned and marinated, so the prep work is done, which means, less time in the kitchen and more time celebrating!
- Brie
- Cranberry sauce, I use the kind from a can #noshame, but feel free to use homemade if you’re an overachiever
- Salted mixed nuts <– sooo necessary for amazing crunch and texture
- Honey
How to make pork and brie puff pastry bites:
