Ingredients
  

For the Tart
  • 1 package Puff Pastry thawed if using frozen
  • 8 ounces Brie Cheese can substitute with Camembert
  • 1 cup Cranberry Sauce homemade or store-bought
  • 4 ounces Pancetta omit for vegetarian option
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme rosemary can be used as an alternative
  • 1 large Egg for brushing

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick and transfer to the baking sheet.
  3. Cook the diced pancetta in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
  4. Spread cranberry sauce over the pastry, layer the cooked pancetta, and add slices of Brie cheese. Fold edges over the filling for a decorative border.
  5. Brush the folded pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden crust.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and flaky. The Brie should be melted.
  7. Cool for a few minutes, then garnish with thyme sprigs before serving.

Notes

Ensure puff pastry is thawed and rolled evenly to prevent uneven baking. For a vegetarian option, use toasted walnuts or pecans in place of pancetta. Use homemade cranberry sauce for best flavor.
