Description
Delicious puff pastry bites filled with brie, fig jam, and toasted pecans, perfect for appetizers or parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 6 oz brie cheese (cut into 24 small pieces)
- 1/3 cup fig jam
- 1/3 cup pecans (toasted and roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for drizzling, optional)
- to taste flaky sea salt (for finishing, optional)
Instructions
- Toast the pecans. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast pecans for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare the puff pastry. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it with a rolling pin then using a pizza cutter, slice into 24 squares.
- Form the cups. Press each pastry square into a mini muffin cup, letting the edges come up slightly above the rim.
- Assemble. Place a small piece of brie in each cup. Top with about 1/2 teaspoon of fig jam, then sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans. If using, add a pinch of fresh thyme.
- Bake for 16-17 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and serve. Let cool in the tin for 3-5 minutes before carefully removing. If desired, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve warm.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey and sea salt based on personal preference.
- These can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
