Instructions
Cranberry Brie Tartlets
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
- Step 2
Use a rolling pin to roll the sheet of puff pastry into an 8×12-inch rectangle. (If the puff pastry is sticking, dust the surface with a small amount of all-purpose flour.) Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry into 4 even strips length-wise. Then, cut the puff pastry cross-wise into 6 even strips so you have 24 2×2-inch squares. Press the puff pastry squares into the cups of the mini muffin pan with a pastry tamper or the handle of a wood spoon. Use the tines of a fork to dock the bottoms of the puff pastry cups 2-3 times each.
- Step 3
Fill each puff pastry cup with 1 teaspoon of cranberry compote, 1 cube of brie, and 1 pecan half. Bake the tartlets for 17-20 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the puff pastry is golden-brown.
- Step 4
Transfer the tartlets to a platter and sprinkle them with the fresh rosemary. Add sprigs of rosemary for garnish, if desired. Enjoy the tartlets warm or at room temperature.
Cranberry Orange Compote
- Step 5
Mix the cranberries, orange juice, water, and brown sugar together in a skillet or saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat.
- Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the berries, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes or until the juices are thickened and the berries have burst. When you drag a spoon through the sauce, there should be a trail and the compote should mostly hold its shape.
- Step 7
Remove the compote from the heat and stir in the orange zest. Transfer the compote to a bowl and let it cool completely. It will thicken more as it cools.
