Preparation method

How do you make this?

Keep your puff pastry in the refrigerator for as long as possible so that it stays nice and firm. Put the brie in pieces, with the rind, along with the jam and pepper and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy.

Spread the cream together with the cooked pieces of smoked bacon on the puff pastry, up to the edges. Place a second circle of puff pastry on top and press lightly. Now cut strips about a centimeter thick, possibly with a fluted pastry cutter or large knife.

Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease muffin or cupcake molds, or you can simply bake it on baking paper without molds. Push the shorter strips from the side together so that all strips are approximately the same length. Now twist them at both ends in opposite directions to form a swirl or loose knots and place them in the baking mold or on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten yolk and sprinkle with herbs of your choice.

Bake for 25 minutes until they are nice and crispy and golden brown. Let cool on a rack. Put them in the oven for 5 minutes if you make them in advance!
