Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preparation: Cut the brie cheese into 1/2 inch squares. Place them on a dinner plate and transfer to the freezer while thawing the puff pastry at room temperature for 30 minutes. |
| 2 | Thaw Pastry: After 30 minutes, when the pastry is thawed, unfold it and lightly roll it with a rolling pin to remove any creases. |
| 3 | Cut Pastry: Cut each pastry sheet into fourths, then cut each fourth in half. |
| 4 | Divide Dough: Further, cut each piece in half again to produce 16 even squares of dough per pastry sheet. |
| 5 | Prepare Muffin Cups: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray mini muffin cups with vegetable oil. |
| 6 | Line Cups: Fit a square of dough into each muffin cup, ensuring that the pointed edges of the dough extend straight up. |
| 7 | Add Cheese: Place a piece of brie cheese in each dough-lined cup. |
| 8 | Top with Jelly: Top each cheese-filled cup with approximately 1/4 teaspoon of hot pepper jelly. |
| 9 | Bake: Bake the Brie Kisses in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. |
| 10 | Serve: Once golden, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delectable Brie Kisses warm! |
