Ingredients
- 1 package (2 sheets) Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 120 grams Cherry preserves
- 30 grams Chopped pecans
- 5 grams Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 large Egg
- 15 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thaw the puff pastry sheets per the package instructions. Roll out one sheet at a time onto a lightly floured surface.
Step 3
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 equal squares (approximately 6 cm x 6 cm). You'll have 24 squares total.
Step 4
Gently press each square into the wells of a mini muffin tin to form small pastry cups, ensuring the edges slightly overlap the top.
Step 5
Cut the Brie cheese into 24 small cubes, about 1 cm on each side, and place one cube into the center of each pastry cup.
Step 6
Top the Brie with about 1/2 teaspoon of cherry preserves.
Step 7
Sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top of the cherry preserves for crunch. Add a tiny pinch of fresh thyme leaves if desired for an herby note.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 9
Bake the pastry cups in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cups to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delightful Brie Cherry Pastry Cups with friends and family!
