Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 8 oz (225 g) Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup fig jam or preserves
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet. Cut it into 2-inch squares (about 24 pieces).
- Assemble the Bites:
- Place the puff pastry squares into a mini muffin tin, pressing them gently to form cups.
- Add a cube of Brie to each pastry cup.
- Top each piece of Brie with a small dollop of fig jam (about 1/2 tsp).
- Sprinkle chopped pecans and a pinch of rosemary (if using) over the jam.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish when baked.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Drizzle with honey if desired for added sweetness.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
