Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 230°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
• Combine the cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and juice in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and simmer until the cranberries are soft and beginning to burst, 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and Gruyere with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until smooth.
Step 4
• Place the phyllo tartlets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce into each tartlet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture over the cranberry sauce. Bake until the tartlets are golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with chives before serving.
