Walnut and Brie Puff Pastry Bites
Description
Flakey squares of puff pastry are baked with Brie, walnuts and dried cranberries. A drizzle of honey and fresh thyme and basil leaves finish this appetizer.
Ingredients
-
1 (17.3-oz.) box frozen puff pastry, thawed
-
1/2 pound Brie cheese, sliced
-
1 cup chopped California walnuts
-
1 cup dried cranberries, divided
-
Fresh thyme and basil leaves
-
2 tablespoons honey
PREPARATION
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Unfold puff pastry and cut each sheet into 6 pieces. Poke holes in the surface of the pastry with a fork to keep from puffing too much during baking. Top with equal amounts of cheese and sprinkle with 3/4 of the walnuts and 3/4 of the cranberries.
-
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
-
Place thyme and basil leaves on each pastry square. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts and drizzle with honey. Garnish with remaining cranberries.
