About the Bourbon Brie Puff Pastry
A two-bite party starter. Puff pastry cups hold melting brie under a spoonful of apricot preserves simmered with Garrison Brothers Small Batch and toasted almonds, then get topped with fresh berries and mint. Flaky, creamy, sweet and a little boozy.
Questions, answered
Can I make them ahead?
Make the bourbon apricot preserves up to a week ahead and keep them in the fridge. Assemble and bake just before serving.
Do I need to remove the brie rind?
No. The rind is edible and softens in the oven. Trim it if you prefer a smoother bite.
Can I use another jam?
Yes. Fig, peach or cherry preserves all work with the bourbon and brie.
