Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4-5 ounces brie, sliced
  • 1/2 cup of cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced pecans or pistachios
  • 1 egg, whisked
a wreath pastry

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Place a large piece of baking paper on the bench then place your sheet of puff pastry on top.

Use a medium sized bowl to create a wreath shape for the pastry. Set aside extra pastry. 

Take a much smaller bowl and press it down in the center of the pastry to make a mark. Remove the bowl, then in the center of the circle, make 4 cuts as if cutting a pizza into 8 pieces.

In a wreath shape, around this circle, spread the cranberry sauce. Layer up the sliced brie and sprinkle on the nuts on top of the sauce.

Take one piece of pastry from the center, over the top of the filling and connect in with the edge of the wreath. Press down to seal. Repeat until the wreath is fully formed.

Brush the pastry with the whisked egg.

Place the wreath and baking paper on a baking tray then bake for 25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into pieces.
