Cranberry Brie Puff Pastry Stars

Quick and Easy appetizer perfect for Christmas! Puff pastry stars topped with brie and cranberry sauce!

• Using a beaten egg, apply a thin layer of egg wash to the top of pastry stars
• Top with another puff pastry star then repeat with applying a thin layer of egg wash to the top of pastry star
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the stars are puffed and golden
• Take out puff pastry stars of the oven
• Cut small slices off brie and place on top of each pastry stars and place back in the oven for 1-2 minutes to melt and bubble the brie
• Remove puff pastry stars from oven and place on a plate
• Spoon a small amount of the cranberry sauce on top of the brie and a few fresh thyme leaves

They are best straight from the oven, but if you want to get ahead you could bake, cool, cover and store the puff pastry stars without the brie and cranberries a day or two beforehand. Then place in the oven for 2-3 minutes to heat through before adding the brie.
