Make it for game night! This recipe was crafted to help set the theme for:

Ingredients

  • Puff pastry dough: 2 sheets (store-bought, thawed)
  • Brie cheese: 8 oz, rind removed and cut into small cubes
  • Jam or preserves: 1/3 cup of your preferred flavor (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or fig)
  • Fresh thyme leaves: 1 tablespoon (optional)
  • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Flour: for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut each sheet into 12 squares.

3. Place a cube of Brie in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a small dollop of jam or preserves (about 1/2 teaspoon). If desired, add a few thyme leaves for a touch of herbaceous flavor.

4. Gently fold the corners of the pastry toward the center and pinch them together to form a little bundle. Seal the edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking. Place the assembled bites seam-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.

5. Brush the tops of the puff pastry bites with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, shiny finish.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

7. Allow the bites to cool slightly before transferring them to a serving platter. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

  • Use a variety of jams to offer different flavor options, like raspberry for tanginess or fig for richness.
  • For a savory twist, substitute the jam with caramelized onions.
  • Prep the bites ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking to streamline party prep.
