Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter to cut out 12 circles (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush each pastry circle with egg wash. Place a few cubes of brie in the center of each circle, then top with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios over each tart. Drizzle lightly with honey and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.
