📝 Ingredients

• 1 tube crescent dough (or 2 sheets of puff pastry, semi-thawed)
• 1 spray cooking oil spray (for pan)
• 1 pinch all purpose flour (for work surface)
• 1 wheel brie (8oz (250g) full wheel)
• 6 teaspoons whole berry cranberry sauce (or cranberry jelly/ jam)
• 6 teaspoons diced bacon (cooked, or bacon bits)
• 6 pecans (halved lengthways)
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 6 teaspoons apricot preserves (or jam)
• 6 teaspoons walnuts (crushed )

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 375° (180°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. 2Start by preparing your dough. If you are using crescent dough, unroll it onto a lightly floured surface and pinch the seams together to seal them. If you are using puff pastry, simply unroll it directly onto the parchment paper it came in to prevent sticking. Cut your chosen dough into 24 equal squares, then gently press each square into the holes of a mini muffin tin.
3. 3Cut brie into 24 small pieces and place inside the dough cups.
4. 4--- The toppings ---

6. 6MAPLE BACON: Place a spoonful of cooked diced bacon, 2 pecan halves and a drizzle of maple syrup in another 6 of the cups. Season with pepper.
7. 7APRICOT WALNUT: Place a spoonful of preserves and crushed walnuts in 6 of the cups. Season with a pinch of salt.
8. 8GARLIC BUTTER HERB: MIX the butter and garlic together. Top the remaining 6 cups with just over 1 teaspoonful of garlic butter mixture and 2-3 rosemary leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
9. 9Bake until the crescent pastry is golden, (about 10-15 minutes).
