Description

Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
• 1 egg, whisked
• 8 ounces brie, cubed into bite-size pieces about ¾
• ⅔ cup whole cranberry sauce
• 2-3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon roughly chopped thyme
• Candied Walnuts (recipe below)
• 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 squares. Brush puff pastry with whisked egg. Gently press each puff pastry square into a muffin tin, egg side up.
• Add one cube of brie and a spoonful of cranberry sauce to each puff pastry. Drizzle with a little bit of honey and sprinkle lightly with thyme.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown. It will look a bit messy at this point. Remove from oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes, which will allow the pastries to set a bit. Run a knife or offset spatula around the perimeter of each puff pastry and lift out of the pan. Top each puff with a few candied walnut pieces and serve.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and cook 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently until sugar is melted. Place on a parchment paper lined baking tray and allow to cool in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
