This holiday season, I’m all about keeping it low-stress and low key! That’s why, in addition to sharing my Stress-Free 2020 Holiday Planning Guide, I’m focusing on quick and easy recipes that can make your lives easier from now through New Year’s Day! Speaking of easy, this brie and cranberry tart comes together SO easily and it’s a perfect appetizer or snack this season for your low-key gatherings, family dinners, or just as a snack for yourself for Netflix night! Let’s get into how to make this brie and cranberry puff pastry tart!

Quick and easy!

I love to have easy appetizers available on holidays, whether it’s a quick cheese board, a savory snack mix, or a crudité platter. But this brie and cranberry tart is next level. It’s just as easy as any veggie or cheese tray, but so much more irresistible! Plus, it looks so elegant on your cocktail table, it’s certain to impress your guests! But what will really impress them is the taste!

This easy brie and cranberry tart is made with a few quick shortcuts to make it super simple. First, we’re using store-bought puff pastry to form the base of our puff pastry tart. Then, we’re adding brie, pecans, and canned whole berry cranberry sauce. It adds that tart festive sweetness, but takes no extra time! Finally, we’ll top it with some rosemary and it’s ready to bake! Drizzle the baked tart with some honey and you’ve got a quick, impressive appetizer that came together in just a few minutes!

Ingredients

• puff pastry – I always use Pepperidge Farm puff pastry for a puff pastry tart, but you can grab any frozen puff pastry you like. It should be fully thawed before you start.
• brie cheese – You can use any variety of brie you like, or whatever’s available. I tend to use a wheel of brie and just slice it into rectangles.
• whole berry cranberry sauce – to save time, you can grab a can of whole berry cranberry sauce, or you can use your favorite recipe for homemade cranberry sauce.
• pecan halves – roughly chop your pecans so that they’ll spread more evenly, but not too small that you don’t get that crunchy texture!
• chopped rosemary – this is a great touch to balance out the sweetness in the cranberry sauce and add an interesting dimension to the flavors in this brie and cranberry tart.
• egg wash – brushing the edges with an egg beaten with a little water will help the puff pastry to brown and get that shiny, flaky finish.
• honey – this is the final touch! Drizzle honey on just before serving to add some rich sweetness and make this brie and cranberry tart irresistible!

Equipment

This brie and cranberry tart is a pretty simple recipe — you’ll just need a rolling pin to flatten the tart a bit and a lined baking sheet to bake your puff pastry tart!
