Equipment

1 x Baking Tray

Ingredients

100 grams Cranberry Sauce
100 grams Bacon chopped into pieces
200 grams Brie
2 sheets puff pastry
1 egg optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 210 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease a baking tray.
Place a sheet of partially thawed puff pastry onto greased baking tray.
Cover with cranberry sauce and sprinkle with bacon pieces.
Place the second sheet of partially thawed puff pastry over the top.
Place the brie into the centre of the puff pastry and carefully cut strips around the cheese.
Gently twist two strands of the puff pastry and pinch the bottom of the pieces together to secure. Repeat.
Lightly brush with egg (if using) and place into the oven to bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Place the sheet of puff pastry onto your baking tray before adding the other ingredients, it will be difficult to move once you have started preparing the recipe.

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon.

The egg wash is optional, it does help to turn the pastry a lovely golden colour.

You can also choose to not twist the puff pastry strip and leave as is to make a pull apart style dish.

For a crispy base, place the Cranberry and Brie Puff Pastry directly onto a greased baking tray. The pastry may go a little soggy on the bottom if placed onto a sheet of baking paper.

This recipe is best enjoyed immediately.
