Ingredients:
To make these flavorful tartlets, you’ll need the following ingredients:

- 8 oz brie cheese – Cut into small pieces or slices. Brie is rich and creamy, perfect for these bite-sized treats.
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries – For a tangy burst of flavor.
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans – Toasted for added richness and crunch.
- 2 tablespoons honey – For a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar – Optional, for added sweetness and a caramelized finish.
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional) – Adds a fragrant herb note to complement the richness of the brie and the tart cranberries.
- 1/4 cup melted butter – To brush the phyllo dough for a golden, crispy finish.
- Salt – A pinch to taste.
- Powdered sugar (optional) – For dusting over the tartlets before serving for an extra festive touch.
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Phyllo dough can be delicate and dry out quickly, so it’s important to work with it carefully. Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package instructions, usually in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about an hour.
Once thawed, gently unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. You’ll be using several layers to create a crispy, flaky crust, so be prepared to work in layers.
