Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz / 225 g) puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 4 oz (115 g) brie cheese, rind removed and sliced thin
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 1–2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- Pinch of fresh ground black pepper (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and smooth it out to about 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm).
- Using a 2-3 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as possible from the sheet (about 12-14). Gather scraps, re-roll gently, and cut more hearts until all dough is used.
- Place the pastry hearts on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the edges of each heart lightly with the egg wash.
- Place a small piece (about 1 tablespoon / 15 g) of sliced brie on the center of each heart.
- Top each brie piece with 2-3 thin strawberry slices, arranging them to cover the cheese without spilling over.
- Optionally, drizzle a small amount of honey over each bite and sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the brie is starting to melt.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use to prevent stickiness. Slice brie and strawberries thinly for even melting and baking. Brush egg wash lightly to avoid sogginess. Watch oven closely from 10 minutes onward and rotate baking sheet for even browning. Let bites cool briefly before serving to avoid burning.
