Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Unfold 2 thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 9 equal squares (about 3x3 inches).
  2. Step 2: Place 1 cube of 6 oz Brie cheese in the center of each puff pastry square, then top each with about 1 tsp fig jam.
  3. Step 3: Fold the corners of each square toward the center to partially enclose the filling, leaving some exposed. Press gently to seal.
  4. Step 4: Place the pastry bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each bite with 1 beaten egg to create a golden finish.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 15-18 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves over the warm bites. Let cool slightly before packing for your picnic.
