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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the brie on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
