Pastry brush
Knife

Ingredients

For the Pastry

1 package Puff pastry (2 sheets, thawed)

For the Filling

1 cup Brie cheese (cut into small cubes)
½ cup Cranberry sauce homemade or store-bought

For the Garnish

1 Egg (beaten for egg wash)
Fresh thyme leaves (optional) for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to about ⅛ inch thickness.
Cut the puff pastry into squares or circles using a knife or a 3-inch round cookie cutter.
Place the cut-out pastry pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In the center of each pastry piece, place a small cube of Brie cheese.
Spoon about one teaspoon of cranberry sauce over the Brie in each pastry.
Lightly sprinkle each bite with salt and pepper to taste, and add fresh thyme leaves if using.
Fold the corners of each pastry over the filling, or leave them open for a rustic look.
Brush the tops of your pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
Cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for best results. Only use one teaspoon of cranberry sauce per pastry. Watch the time to avoid burning. Reheat leftovers for optimal texture.
