Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- flour for rolling out puff pastry
- spray oil for muffin pan
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 1 cup mango chutney
- ½ teaspoon flaky salt
- 3 tablespoon almonds sliced
- thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray the muffin pan with oil.
- Defrost the puff pastry according to packaging instructions. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the puff pastry into a thin rectangle. Make two vertical cuts to cut the pastry into thirds, then cut each third into 4 squares for a total of 12 even sized squares.
- Cut the wheel of brie into 1-inch cubes.
- Lay out each piece of puff pastry in the cups of the muffin pan, gently pushing it in so that it molds to the cup. Add 1-2 pieces of brie (depending on size of the cup). Top the brie with 2 teaspoons of mango chutney. Lastly, sprinkle a few sliced almonds over each cup.
- Pop the muffin pan into the oven for 20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is a golden brown. Remove from the oven. Allow the pastries to set for 5 minutes.
- Slide a fork around the outside of the pastry to release the melted cheese from the muffin tin. Carefully remove the pastries from the muffin tin using two forks to scoop them out and on to a serving platter.
- Garnish each pastry with dried of fresh thyme and a bit of flaky salt. Serve warm.
Notes
Scaling this recipe
- If you're making more than 12, use more than one muffin pan or make it in batches. Be sure to keep the puff pastry and brie in the refrigerator while waiting for the first batch to finish in the oven. If they soften, they'll be difficult to work with.
- If you're making less than 12, use a 6 or 8 jumbo muffin pan and cut the puff pastry dough accordingly. Use 1 tablespoon of mango chutney.
- To make bite size brie bites, use a 24-cup mini muffin pan and cut the puff pastry into smaller pieces. Use 1 teaspoon of mango chutney.
