Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Hot honey (store‑bought or homemade), for drizzling
  • 2 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with parchment squares.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and cut into 2‑inch squares. Press each square into a muffin cup.
  3. Place a cube of Brie in each pastry cup.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and pumpkin pie spice. Spoon a small amount over the Brie in each cup.
  5. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if using.
  6. Beat the egg and brush the exposed pastry edges with egg wash for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden and the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey over each bite.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Substitute apple butter or fig jam instead of pumpkin puree for a different flavor profile.
  • Use crescent dough or phyllo for a lighter or flakier pastry option.
  • Add a sprinkling of fresh thyme or rosemary for a subtle herbal note.
  • Use regular honey instead of hot honey for a milder finish.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet‑salty contrast.
