Strawberry Brie Tartlets

Fresh molten Strawberry Brie Tartlets, a perfect snack for parties all year long!

Lt. Dan and I are party people.

We are always looking for an excuse to lay out a glorious spread of edibles and aperitifs. What’s better than a warm amalgamation of friends, food and music? Not much that I can think of.

We think of our home idealistically, as a meeting place where people can relax, connections are made, friendships are developed, where inspiring conversations are aroused. A place of both reasoning and laughter.

Therefore, I have an extensive collection of throw-together party foods for whenever the moment strikes

Sometimes these parties are rather short notice. Frozen puff pastry is something I keep on hand at all times. It’s extremely handy for quick hors d’oeuvres and desserts. If you entertain regularly, you need to have a few tricks up your sleeve, and puff pastry is a handy tool.

Bite-size Strawberry Brie Tartlets are perfect party nibbles that can be made in a hurry. This particular variety is essentially a deconstructed classic baked brie.

I’ve layered the ingredients I might used to wrap a whole wheel of brie, and baked them into tiny bites of heaven.

I find at get-togethers, friends are more likely to eat the less-messy items, especially if it’s an event where they are standing and roaming around.

Strawberry Brie Tartlets are easy to pick up and carry. Individual tarts takes a few more minutes of assembly time, but less time in the oven than a whole baked brie. They also look lovely in a sweeping display of delicacies and are a summertime favorite.

Strawberry Brie Tartlets are fabulous all year long, but I prefer them in the summer when the berries are ripe and sun-kissed!

Strawberry Brie Tartlets

Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes minutes

Simple Strawberry Brie Tartlets (Mini Tart Recipe) perfect for parties all year long, but especially berry season!

Servings: 40 mini tarts

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (1 box)
• 1 large egg + 1 tablespoon water
• 10 ripe strawberries
• 5-6 ounces soft, ripe brie
• 8 sprigs fresh thyme
• Salt
• Honey for drizzling

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out at least 40 pieces of pastry dough and lay them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
• Use a fork to poke holes in the center of each piece of dough to keep the centers from rising too much.
• Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over each piece of dough. Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes, until golden-brown.
• Meanwhile, slice each strawberry into 4-5 thin slices. Scrape off the rind and slice the brie into thin rectangles. Pull the thyme leaves off the stems.
• When the puff pastry is golden, remove it from the oven and allow the centers to collapse a little. If they don't, poke them down with a fork. Then layer a piece of brie over each pastry, followed by a strawberry slice, a few thyme leaves and a sprinkle of salt.
• Bake another 2-3 minutes until the brie has melted. Drizzle with a scant amount of honey before serving. These are wonderful served warm or at room temperature!
