Brie & Puffs Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Gastrique

   In a small saucepan, combine apricot preserves, maple syrup, and orange zest. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Spiced Dark Cherries

   In a separate pan, combine dark cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat until the cherries are warmed through and spices are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Puff Pastry

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into squares. Place a piece of brie in the center of each square.

4. 4

   Assemble the Puffs

   Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the brie and pinch to seal. Brush the tops with a little melted butter if desired.

5. 5

   Bake the Puffs

   Arrange the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the warm brie puffs drizzled with the apricot gastrique and topped with the spiced dark cherries and orange pistachio crumb.
