Brie Kisses with Raspberry Preserve


Buttery puff pastry wrapped around creamy Brie and a sweet pop of raspberry makes these little bites an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer that feels just a bit fancy. Serves 8.

By Chef Loretta Paganini

Ingredients

1 lb Brie cheese

1 (17.3 oz.) box frozen puff pastry

Raspberry preserve

Instructions

  1. Cut the brie into ½ inch pieces. Place on a platter and put the cheese in the freezer while you thaw the puff pastry for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Unfold the thawed pastry, press together seams and roll lightly with a rolling pin to smooth it out. Cut each sheet into 16 squares per sheet.
  3. Lightly spray a mini-muffin pan with nonstick spray. Fit a piece of dough into each cup, pushing into the cup but leaving the edges sticking up.
  4. Place a dab of raspberry preserve in each cup, then top with a piece of cheese.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Serve warm.

Notes:

Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake, or you can bake them and re-warm about 10 minutes at 350 degree F before serving.
