We took inspiration from the viral TikTok upside-down puff pastry hack credited to @lilyghodrati and gave it a savory spin that’s perfect for holiday appetizers. Each pastry provides an individual baked brie and gets additional flavor from prosciutto and a sweet drizzle of honey. Don’t forget the extra sprinkle of thyme for added freshness and color.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll the puff pastry into a 14-by-12-inch rectangle with a rolling pin. Cut into 8 equal pieces, each 3 1/2 inches by 6 inches. Transfer them to a large plate or another baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  3. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil at a time on the prepared baking sheet, spacing your pours equally apart so you have room to build the 8 pastries. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey on top of the oil. Place 1 mini brie on top of the oil and honey, then sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and top with one piece of prosciutto. Season each with a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper.
  4. Place one rectangle of puff pastry on top of each prosciutto-and-brie pile. Prick the tops a couple times with a fork (this will help to release some steam). Brush the tops with the beaten egg, then sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan and a couple more grinds of black pepper.
  5. Bake until the puff pastry is cooked through and deep golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to help lift the caramelized pastries off of the baking sheet. Serve brie-side up topped with more fresh thyme and freshly cracked black pepper and drizzled with honey.
