Mini Cranberry and Pecan Brie en Croute

Yields12 Servings

cranberry and pecan brie en croute

 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
 ¼ cup dried cranberries
 8 oz wheel of Brie cheese
 1 tbsp butter
 ¼ tsp cinnamon
 ¼ cup brown sugar
 1 egg, beaten
1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Soak the cranberries in a small bowl of water for one minute to soften. Drain water before using. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add in pecans and cinnamon and stir occasionally for 3 minutes.

3

Arrange thawed puff pastry sheets flat on a cookie sheet. Gently roll out to about 12x9 inch square.

4

Cut each sheet into thirds along the creases. Then cut each sheet length-wise into four pieces. There will be a total of 24 rectangles (12 on each sheet).

5

Top 12 of the pastries with about 1 teaspoon of the pecan mixture and 1 teaspoon of cranberries, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Cube the brie and place one cube on top of each.

6

Lightly brush the remaining 12 rectangles of pastry with beaten egg. Lay pastry over top of the brie mixture, brushed egg side down. Seal the edges by crimping with the back of a fork.

7

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze 20 minutes or chill in the fridge until ready to bake.

8

Before baking, brush the tops with beaten egg. Make a small slit on the top of each pastry. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.

9

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the brie is melted. Enjoy!
