Steps
Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a work surface.
Cut the puff pastry into long strips approximately 2-3 cm wide.
Place a piece of Brie at the end of a strip of puff pastry and fold the pastry over the cheese in a zigzag, making the folds wider toward the bottom to create the silhouette of a Christmas tree.
Insert a wooden skewer from the base to the top to hold the tree shape.
Arrange the trees on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each tree with beaten egg so it browns evenly.
Bake at 200°C (400 °F) (390°F (200 °C)) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Meanwhile, mix the olive oil with the minced garlic and rosemary.
Once out of the oven, brush the hot trees with the oil, garlic, and rosemary mixture before serving.
Notes
Although the video does not specify the exact baking time, puff pastry usually requires about 200°C. You can add raspberry or cranberry jam inside the fold for a sweet-and-tart holiday touch.
