Ingredients: 6 ounces soft ripe brie,1 egg + 1 Tb. water,8 sprigs of fresh thyme,Honey for drizzling,2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry, thawed,Salt,10 ripe strawberries
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Using a 2 inch cookie cutter, cut out at least 40 pieces of pastry dough and lay them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.Use a fork to poke holes in the center of each piece of dough to keep the centers from rising too much.
- Whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tb. of water.
- Brush the egg wash over each piece of dough.
- Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes, until golden-brown.Meanwhile, slice each strawberry into 4-5 thins slices. Scrape off the rind and slice the brie into thin rectangles. Pull the thyme leaves off the stems.When the puff pastry is golden, remove it from the oven and allow the centers to collapse a little. If they don't, poke them down with a fork! Then layer the brie over each pastry, followed by a strawberry slice, a few thyme leaves and a sprinkle of salt.
- Bake another 2-3 minutes until the brie has melted.
- Drizzle with a scant amount of honey before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature!
