Cut off and discard the rind from the brie cheese. Place the cheese on a parchment-lined plate in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375℉. Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet out into a 10×14-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 4 even strips and then crosswise into 6 even strips to create 24 squares. Gently press each square into a muffin cup and prick the bottom with a fork.

Remove chilled brie from the freezer and cut into 24 pieces, approximately 3/4-inch in size.

Spoon 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce into each muffin cup, press in a piece of Brie, and top with 1 teaspoon chopped pecans. Add a sprinkle of salt, if desired.

Bake bites in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the pan and serve warm or at room temperature.
