Description
Make simple, flaky puff pastry hearts filled with creamy brie and sweet raspberry jam. This recipe is perfect for parties or Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam or preserves
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter (about 3 inches wide) to cut out heart shapes from the pastry. You should get about 10 to 12 hearts.
- Place half of the cut-out hearts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Top the center of each heart on the baking sheet with a small piece of brie cheese, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam over the brie on each pastry.
- Brush the edges of the bottom pastry hearts lightly with the egg wash (mix the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water).
- Place the remaining heart cutouts on top of the filled pastries. Gently press the edges together with a fork to seal them completely.
- Brush the tops of the sealed hearts with the remaining egg wash. Use a sharp knife to cut two small slits in the top of each heart to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a few chopped pecans or walnuts over the jam before sealing the pastry.
- If you prefer a less sweet filling, use a thin slice of brie and a small dollop of fig jam instead of raspberry.
- If the pastry browns too quickly, loosely tent the baking sheet with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking.
