Cranberry and Brie Puff Tart
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
1 medium egg, lightly beaten
6oz cranberry sauce (from a jar)
1 TB balsamic vinegar
7oz brie, thickly sliced
Small bunch fresh thyme, leaves stripped from stalks
2 TB shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Honey, to drizzle
Directions
Thaw pastry according to package directions.
Set oven to 375F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place pastry on it. Use a knife to cut a ⅔in border around edge of the pastry, taking care not to cut all the way through the pastry. Brush border with some beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the cranberry sauce together with the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Remove sheet pan from oven and, using a spatula or the back of a spoon, gently push down the pastry inside the border. Spread the cranberry mixture on the pastry, inside the border, then arrange the brie slices on top, evenly spaced. Sprinkle on the thyme leaves and some freshly ground black pepper.
Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 10 minutes, until the brie is melted and pastry is golden. Transfer to a cutting board and toss on the pistachios and drizzle with some honey. Serve warm.
