Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed
  • 1/3 cup fig jam
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Honey, for drizzling (optional)
  • Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: If puff pastry sheets are stiff, let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Lightly roll each sheet on a floured surface to smooth creases and slightly enlarge. Cut each sheet into 16 equal squares (about 3-inch squares).
  3. Slice Brie: Slice brie into small cubes about 1-inch in size, removing rind for smoother melting.
  4. Assemble Bites: Place a cube of brie on each puff pastry square. Top each with about 1 teaspoon of fig jam. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top if using.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle by pinching edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork for a pattern and better seal.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops and edges of each pastry bite with beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes until puff pastry is golden and puffed, and brie is melted. Watch closely after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Rest and Serve: Transfer bites to a cooling rack and let rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle honey over the top if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Watch closely after 12 minutes of baking to avoid burning.
  • Removing rind from brie helps achieve smoother melting.
  • Letting puff pastry rest for 10 minutes at room temperature softens sheets for easier handling.
