Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 1/3 cup peach preserves
- 3 tablespoons hot pepper jelly
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, roll out the sheets slightly on a clean, lightly floured surface.
Using a round cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out 24 circles from the puff pastry. Place each circle in a mini muffin tin, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
Cut the Brie cheese into 24 small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Place one cube of Brie into each puff pastry cup.
In a small bowl, mix the peach preserves and hot pepper jelly until well combined. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture on top of each Brie cube in the pastry cups.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry cups with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the puff pastry cups in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the cups from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Carefully transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors.
