Tips

Ensure the puff pastry dough is well-chilled before starting. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking, and handle it minimally to maintain its flakiness. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter for clean edges. For the best results, chill the prepared dough squares in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before baking. This helps the pastry stay crisp and puff up in the oven.

Tips

Play around with the consistency of the brie. Instead of letting them cool, add the brie to the puff pastry bites when they are fresh from the oven. This way, the cheese will soften and become extra creamy.
