Ingredients
- Sweet Loren’s Gluten-Free Puff Pastry: One package, thawed
- Brie Cheese: Cut into small cubes
- Wild Blueberry Spread: Or your favorite fruit preserve (apricot, raspberry, or fig are great alternatives)
- Nonstick Spray: To prevent sticking in the muffin pan
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the thawed gluten-free puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into small squares, approximately 3×3 inches.
Assemble the Bites
Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray. Place one pastry square into each cup, gently pressing it down to create a well for the filling.
Add a small spoonful of wild blueberry spread into the center of each pastry square. Top with a cube of brie cheese.
Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the brie has melted.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Brie: Look for a brie cheese that’s creamy but not overly runny for a perfectly melty texture.
- Experiment with Fillings: Swap out the blueberry spread for other fruit preserves like apricot or fig to match your flavor preferences.
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the bites in the muffin pan and store in the fridge until ready to bake. Pop them in the oven just before serving.
