Ingredients:
- 1 sheet (8 oz) cold puff pastry
- 8 oz triple cream brie, chilled
- 0.5 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup toasted pecan pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the cold puff pastry sheet until it forms a 10x14 inch rectangle. Note: Keeping it cold ensures the butter doesn't melt before baking.
- Slice the dough into 24 even squares using a pizza cutter. Gently press each square into the holes of an ungreased 24 count mini muffin tin. until the corners poke up slightly.
- Slice your chilled brie into 24 small cubes, about 2cm each. Place one cube into the center of every pastry cup. Note: Chilled brie is much easier to cut than room temp cheese.
- Top every brie cube with a generous teaspoon of cranberry sauce, a few toasted pecans, and a tiny pinch of the minced rosemary.
- Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl. Lightly brush the bits of pastry that are sticking out with the egg wash. until they look wet and shiny.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them sit in the tin for exactly 5 minutes.
- Use a small spoon or knife to gently pop them out and move them to a wire rack. until the bottom is firm.
