Steps
- When the Brie is cold, remove the rind, leaving only the creamy interior. Cut the cheese into pieces and let it soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Using a small cookie cutter, cut about 12 hearts from the puff pastry (depending on the size of your cutter). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a smaller cutter, lightly score the center of each heart to create a border. Prick the pastry with a fork to prevent excessive puffing during baking.
- Brush the pastry hearts lightly with olive oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- When baked, gently press down on the center of each heart with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a space for the brie.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, blend the softened Brie, mustard, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add salt to taste. Process until smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer the whipped Brie mixture to a pastry bag or Ziploc bag (cut a small corner for easy application).
- Fill the centers of the puff pastry hearts with the whipped Brie.
- Top each with a tablespoon of pearl onion confit.
