Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 200 grams Brie or Camembert cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions, ensuring it is soft enough to handle but still chilled.
Cut the Brie or Camembert cheese into 12 small cubes (approximately 15-gram pieces).
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 12 equal squares.
Place a cube of cheese in the center of each puff pastry square.
Drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon of honey onto each cheese cube and top with a pinch of chopped nuts.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry squares up and over the fillings, pinching the edges together to seal them. You should have small, neatly enclosed parcels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash lightly over the tops of the puff pastry parcels.
Place the parcels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
For a decorative touch, garnish each appetizer with a small sprig of fresh rosemary before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, flavorful bites!
