Mini Brie en Croute
Description
This recipe involves thawing and rolling puff pastry into a 12-inch square, then cutting into 3-inch squares. Each puff pastry square is filled with a mini Brie round placed in the center. The pastry corners are gathered and twisted over the cheese to seal the filling tightly without tearing the dough.
The parcels are arranged on a baking sheet lined with parchment or silicone mats and brushed with a beaten egg wash to promote a shiny, golden crust. Baking at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes produces puffed, crisp pastry with melted Brie inside.
These mini Brie en Croute are best served warm, accompanied by a favorite jam for contrast. The flaky dough combined with the soft, creamy cheese creates a rich appetizer suitable for gatherings or snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 16 Brie cheese mini rounds
- 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water for brushing
Instructions
- set oven to 400F
- When the pastry has thawed, lay it out on a floured surface. Roll it out gently into a 12x12 square. You can use your hands at the end to get it just right. Cut the sheet into sixteen 3" squares.
- Lay a Brie round in the center of each square, and bring up the corners to meet in the middle. You can do a little stretching--- it won't tear the dough. Twist the ends together to secure.
- Set the pastries on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and lightly brush with the egg mixture.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the pastries are golden browned.
- Serve hot with your favorite jam.
