Ingredients

  • 1 pound brie cheese, rind removed, room temperature
  • 17.3 ounces (1 package) frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, for dusting surface
  • ½ cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the brie on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold each puff pastry sheet. Spread equal amounts of brie over each sheet, leaving a ½-inch border of pastry around the edges. Spread cranberry sauce evenly over the brie, then sprinkle pecans evenly over the cranberry layer.
  4. Starting at the shorter sides, roll up each pastry sheet tightly into a log shape. Cut each log into 12 equal slices. Place pinwheel slices on prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between them for rising.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Lightly brush the egg mixture over each pinwheel and bake in batches until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Remove pinwheels from oven and set aside to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a platter for serving.
