Cranberry Brie Puff Pastry Twists are a delightful appetizer that combines the sweetness of cranberry sauce with the creaminess of Brie cheese, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup fresh or canned cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 12 equal strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
  3. Assemble the Twists: Take one strip of puff pastry and place a teaspoon of cranberry sauce at one end. Then, add a couple of small pieces of Brie cheese over the cranberry. If you’re using honey, drizzle a little over the Brie for a touch of sweetness.
  4. Twist and Seal: Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges. Then, twist the pastry strip from both ends in opposite directions to create a spiral. Place the twisted pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this with the remaining strips.
  5. Add Rosemary and Egg Wash: Once all the twists are arranged on the baking sheet, brush each twist lightly with the beaten egg. Sprinkle fresh or dried rosemary over the top, and a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These puff pastry twists can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a stronger rosemary flavor, use fresh rosemary.
  • The honey is optional but adds a nice sweetness.
  • These twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
