Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheets
- 120 grams Brie cheese
- 6 teaspoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 6 small sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean counter with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal squares.
Cut the Brie cheese into 6 small pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
Place one piece of Brie in the center of each puff pastry square. Top each piece of Brie with 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Carefully fold the corners of the puff pastry over the Brie and cranberry sauce, pinching the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent leaking during baking.
Place the wrapped pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of each pastry with the egg wash.
Optional: Place a small sprig of fresh rosemary on top of each pastry for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm and fresh.
