Irresistible Cranberry Brie Tart with Pancetta & Thyme for Your Next Gathering

Learn how to make delicious Cranberry Brie Tart with Pancetta & Thyme. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is half the battle won! Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious tart:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 oz wheel of brie cheese
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cooked pancetta, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of black pepper

If you can’t find fresh cranberries, frozen ones work just as well, and if pancetta isn’t available, bacon is a tasty substitute. The beauty of home cooking is making it work with what you have!

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can bring this tart to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score a border about 1 inch from the edges of the pastry. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Place slices of brie evenly within the scored border.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, honey, and sugar. Cook until the cranberries begin to pop and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Spread the cranberry mixture over the brie slices.
  7. Sprinkle the diced pancetta and thyme leaves over the top. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden crust.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  10. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy while warm!

Pro tip: Don’t worry if some cranberries escape or if your pastry puffs unevenly. It’s all part of the charm!
