(Part 1) How to Make Mini Fig & Brie Puff Pastry Bites:
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 1 to 2 12-cup muffin tins with softened butter to prevent the puff pastry from sticking.
On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry. Slice into 20-24 equal-sized squares.

Press each square into an individual muffin tin cup.
What is Puff Pastry? Where can I find Puff Pastry?
Puff pastry is a flaky pastry made from a laminated dough composed of sough and butter. The butter is place inside two layer of dough and rolled out to create a very line layer of butter in-between the dough. It is repeat so that when baked it's very flaky - think of a croissant!
Puff pastry dough can be found in the frozen aisle near pie crusts and desserts. Make sure you thaw the dough overnight in the fridge. If you're in a pinch, thaw 30 minutes - 1 hour at room temperature. Keep a close eye on the dough because you want it JUST thawed, not warmed (or it won't be as flaky).
(Part 3) How to Make Mini Fig & Brie Puff Pastry Bites:
Place a brie cube in each puff pastry cup, followed by a dollop of fig jam.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
(Part 4) How to Make Mini Fig & Brie Puff Pastry Bites:
Let rest 5-6 minutes in the pan before removing with a fork or spoon.
Garnish with fresh rosemary, a drizzle of honey, and flaky sea salt to enjoy!
Can the puff pastry bites be made in advance?
Yes, you can prep this appetizer in advance both unbaked and baked versions. If unbaked, prep up to 12 hours in advance (so like the night before). If baked, prep up to 1 day in advance and reheat at 350F for 5-8 minutes the next day (keep a close eye on them as you don't want them to burn).

These were delicious! I ended up using more like 4 oz of Brie which was plenty for 20 mini bites. I also cooked mine a good deal longer, but I used a silicone mini muffin tin and have a gas oven so I’m not sure it was exactly 350. Will definitely be making these again for guests and the holidays!
