At the heart of any good puff pastry dish is, of course, the puff pastry itself. This flaky, buttery pastry is known for its light, airy texture, which is achieved by layering dough with butter and folding it multiple times. This process creates hundreds of delicate layers that puff up beautifully when baked, providing a satisfying crunch that contrasts perfectly with the creamy filling.

Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

8 oz Brie cheese, rinds removed and cut into small pieces

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Pinch of salt, to taste

Flour for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut the pastry into 2-3 inch squares.

      Assemble the Bites: Place about 1-2 slices of strawberry in the center of each pastry square. Top it with a small piece of Brie cheese and drizzle a little honey over it. Sprinkle a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

        Seal the Edges: Take the corners of the pastry square and gently fold them towards the center over the filling, pinching the edges to seal them securely.

          Egg Wash: Place each assembled puff bite on a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden brown finish when baked.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

              Top with Balsamic Glaze: Once they are out of the oven, you can drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the warm bites for an extra layer of flavor (optional).

                Garnish and Serve: Allow the bites to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve warm.
