Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone nonstick baking sheet. Set aside. 
  • Add ? of the cranberries, water, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick to a pot together. Set on medium heat and bring to a simmer. 
  • Let simmer until the cranberries have burst. Add the remaining cranberries (for texture) and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool. 
  • Cut the puff pastry into squares. Use a knife, cut an L shape on the bottom and right hand side. Cut another upside down L shape on the other side of each piece. See process picture. 
  • Gently place the cut corner over the pastry so it rests on the opposite side. Do the same with the other side. This should have a boat-like effect where each tart now has an outer edge to hold the filling in. 
  • In a small bowl whisk the egg with about 1 tsp of water till frothy
  • Brush each pastry square with the egg wash. 
  • Place a piece of brie into each tart square then add some cranberry on top of the cheese. 
  • Top with some crushed candied pecans. 
  • Place the tarts on the prepared baking sheet then bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Remove the tarts from the oven, some cheese may leak out during cooking which is fine. Place a whole candied pecan on each tart to garnish. Enjoy
