Ahhh, Thanksgiving, and the Feast is coming together. Grandpa made the turkey, Grandma made the perfect stuffing, the Aunts and Uncles have made all the side dishes, and that annoying Cousin even offered to bring the chips and soda. What’s left for you? What could you possibly bring that will make the rest of the family want to invite you again next year? Don’t worry, Kyle’s Kitchen is here to make you a Thanksgiving star…
Cranberry Brie Tarts
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 2-4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 (8 ounce) wheels of Brie, each cut into 12 slices (leave the rind on)
- 1/3 cup fig preserves
- 1 egg, beaten
- coarse sugar, for sprinkling
- fresh thyme, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles. Spread each rectangle with about 1 teaspoon fig preserves, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Top with 2 slices of brie and then mound the cranberries over the brie, pressing them into the brie to adhere slightly (see above photo).
- Fold the edges of the pastry inward to enclose the brie. Brush the edges of pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the brie melted.
- Top with fresh thyme.
