Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (8–10 oz)
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup thick peach preserves or peach jam
Instructions
1. Prepare the Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to:
- 400°F (200°C)
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into:
- 16 equal squares
Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
3. Add the Brie
Place one cube of brie in the center of each pastry square.
4. Add the Peach Preserves
Top each piece of brie with:
- about 1 teaspoon peach preserves
Avoid overfilling to prevent leaking during baking.
5. Fold the Pastry
Bring the corners of each pastry square toward the center, gently pinching them together.
Leave a small opening on top so the cheese and preserves can peek through while baking.
6. Bake
Bake for:
- 15–18 minutes
or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
The brie should be melted and the preserves bubbling slightly.
7. Cool Slightly
Allow the bites to cool for:
- 5 minutes
before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Optional Garnishes
For extra flavor and presentation, top with:
- chopped pecans
- fresh thyme
- rosemary
- a drizzle of honey
- cracked black pepper
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm as:
- holiday appetizers
