Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough
  • 1 can Bartlett pears in light syrup drained and chopped
  • 1 8 oz wedge brie whatever size you can find, simply adjust individual amounts

Keep brie refrigerated until ready to cut.

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or other dried fruit chopped up

This would also be fantastic with dried blueberries, chopped dried apricots or a dollop of your favorite jam (like fig) in place of the cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Thaw the puff pastry dough at room temperature for 30-40 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Flour your work surface and roll out the dough to approximately a 14 inch square
  • Cut into two inch squares (the number may vary depending on how flat you want to roll the dough)

A pizza cutter works great here.

  • Press the dough into mini muffin tins.
  • Coarsely chop the pears and put a few chunks into the center of each square.
  • Cut edges from brie, cube into bite size pieces and place over pear.
  • Top each with dried cranberries.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Serve warm and Enjoy!
