Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (store-bought is perfect)
  • 8 ounces brie, rind on or off, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup berry jam (raspberry, strawberry, or mixed berry)
  • 1 tablespoon honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for warmth)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or mint, finely chopped (optional garnish)
  • Fresh berries (raspberries or sliced strawberries), for topping (optional)
  • Nonstick spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
  • Cut the puff pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it to smooth out the seams. Cut into 24 small squares (about 2 inches each).
  • Make the jam mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the berry jam, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla. This adds brightness and depth without overpowering the brie.
  • Assemble the cups: Press a puff pastry square into each muffin cup to form a little shell. Add a small cube of brie to each, then top with about 1/2 teaspoon of the jam mixture.
  • Brush with egg wash: Lightly brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
  • Bake: Bake for 13–16 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the cheese is melted. If any overflow happens, don’t stress—it still tastes amazing.
  • Finish: Let the bites cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with a little extra honey, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and finish with fresh herbs. Add a fresh berry on top if you like.
  • Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. They’ll stay crisp for a couple of hours, making them perfect for a party spread.
