Notes
Keep the puff pastry cold while working so it stays flaky when baked. If it starts to soften, place it back in the fridge for a few minutes.
Cut the dough with a sharp knife for clean edges that help the layers rise evenly.
I like to leave the rind on the Brie since it melts smoothly and adds structure to each bite.
Toasted walnuts add crunch and complement the creamy Brie, while rosemary brings a touch of Mediterranean flavor.
These bites can be assembled a day ahead and baked just before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, then reheat at 350°F for about five minutes to crisp them back up.
