Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Thawed overnight or at room temperature
For the Filling
  • 120 g Brie Cheese, sliced thinly Can be substituted with Camembert
  • 1/3 cup Cranberry Sauce Opt for unsweetened for a healthier choice
  • 1 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves Dried thyme can also work in a pinch
For the Finish
  • 1 Egg, beaten for egg wash Optional for those seeking an egg-free dish
  • 1 tbsp Honey Optional for drizzling; maple syrup can be an alternative

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • sharp knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the thawed puff pastry, smoothing out any creases.
  3. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about a half-inch border. Layer the thinly sliced brie on top and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves across the cheese.
  4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into eight equal strips.
  5. Fold each strip in half lengthwise, encasing the filling. Gently twist each strip and pinch the ends to seal securely.
  6. Arrange the twists on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, and bake for 18–22 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey if desired, allow to cool slightly, then serve warm.

Notes

Letting the twists chill before baking strengthens the pastry’s flakiness. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks while baking.
