Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Puff pastry sheets (store-bought, thawed in the fridge)
  • Cooked turkey, thinly sliced or shredded
  • Brie cheese, rind on or off, cut into small cubes
  • Dijon mustard
  • Honey
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional, but lovely)
  • Egg (for egg wash)
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • Flour (for dusting the surface)
  • Optional finish: flaky sea salt, crushed pecans, or a touch of hot honey

Instructions
 

  • Prep the oven and tray. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Stir the sauce. In a small bowl, mix 2 parts honey to 1 part Dijon. Season with a pinch of pepper and a few thyme leaves.
  • Roll and cut. Lightly flour your surface. Gently roll the puff pastry to smooth seams and slightly thin it. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter (about 2.5–3 inches) to cut out stars. Gather scraps, re-roll once, and cut more.
  • Egg wash base. Whisk the egg with a splash of water. Brush the tops of the stars lightly to encourage browning.
  • Layer the filling. Add a small dab of the honey mustard to the center of each star. Top with a bit of turkey and a cube of Brie. Don’t overfill—leave a small border so the pastry can puff.
  • Optional garnish. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, until puffed and deep golden around the edges.
  • Finish and serve. Drizzle with a little extra honey (or hot honey) and a few crushed pecans if you like. Serve warm.
