Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure that your Cranberry Brie and Thyme Puff Pastry Twists bake perfectly. While the oven is heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will make for easy cleanup and prevent the twists from sticking.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet until it’s smooth and even, removing any folds or creases. Aim for about a 1/8-inch thickness to achieve that fabulous flaky texture.

Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving about a one-inch border around the edges. Layer the thin slices of brie cheese atop the cranberry sauce, then sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into 8 equal strips, each about 1 inch wide. Fold each strip in half lengthwise, gently twist it about two to three times, and pinch the ends to secure.

Place your twisted pastries on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each for expansion. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.

Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed up, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.

Once the Cranberry Brie and Thyme Puff Pastry Twists are out of the oven, drizzle them with honey if desired for an extra touch of sweetness. Allow them to cool slightly, then serve warm.
