Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry
6 oz brie cheese cut into 24 small pieces (a little over half a round of Brie)
1/3 cup fig jam
1/3 cup pecans toasted and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves optional
2 tablespoons honey for drizzling (optional)
Flaky sea salt for finishing (optional)

Instructions

Toast the pecans. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast pecans for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool, then roughly chop. Set aside.
1/3 cup pecans
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the puff pastry. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it with a rolling pin then using a pizza cutter, slice into 24 squares.
1 sheet puff pastry
Form the cups. Press each pastry square into a mini muffin cup, letting the edges come up slightly above the rim.
Assemble. Place a small piece of brie in each cup. Top with about 1/2 teaspoon of fig jam, then sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans. If using, add a pinch of fresh thyme.
