Brie and Cranberry Puff Pastry Stars Recipe – A Festive Treat

Print Recipe

These star-shaped pastries combine flaky puff pastry with rich Brie cheese and sweet-tart cranberries, creating a delightful appetizer. Perfect for any festive occasion, they are sure to impress your guests!

Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry
  • Brie Cheese
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • Egg Wash (made from one beaten egg)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). This ensures that the puff pastry cooks evenly and gets that lovely golden color.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If you’re using pre-rolled pastry, simply unroll it and lay it flat. Cut the pastry into star shapes using a cookie cutter or a knife.
  3. Add the Filling: On half of the star shapes, place a small spoonful of cranberry sauce, followed by a slice of Brie cheese. Be careful not to overfill—less is more here!
  4. Assemble the Stars: Place another star shape on top of the filled ones. Press down the edges gently to seal them, ensuring the filling stays inside. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  5. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the stars with the beaten egg wash. This step is crucial for achieving that golden-brown finish.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled stars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

Keywords: For a vegan option, you can use a mixture of plant-based milk and a little oil for the egg wash. Consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the cranberry sauce for added flavor.
