Cheesy Puff Pastry Christmas Tree with Brie and Fig Jam-2-min

🎶 Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree…. your taste is so amazing 🎶 Real talk, how beautiful is this puff pastry Christmas tree layered with fig jam and sliced brie? Frozen puff pastry is easily one of the GOAT ingredients for party planning since you can pull off impressive dishes like this with minimal effort. This dish comes together in just 20-30 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to shape your tree.

I used this sliced brie from Ile de France cheese, and paired it with fig jam since the sweetness pairs so wonderfully with buttery brie, but you can totally customize this with any spread you want to use. You could even make this as a dessert by using Nutella or dulce de leche, or dust the tree with cinnamon sugar to make a churro-esque Christmas tree.

After you choose your fillings, you simply have to layer your spread and any cheeses or toppings in between two sheets of puff pastry, then cut out the shape and make these “twists” on both sides to form the branches. This turns the tree into a pull-apart appetizer that’s perfect for sharing. It bakes in just 12-15 minutes, so it can be ready as a last minute starter. Give it a try and tag me if you make this for your next holiday gathering!
