Brie Cheese Grape And Pepperoni Puff Appy

---

Found in the best of cooking by arne kruger & annette wolter, this recipe is a great appy to fix for a crowd. Even using puff pastry (which i find challenging), these are a snap to fix, can be prepared ahead, can be served warm or at room temp *and* they are pretty to look at + yummy to eat! *enjoy* (edited to add: pls see prep notes added after these were made & after 1st review)

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 400f.

---

Defrost puff pastry.

---

Roll out on a floured surface to a 1 / 8-in thick rectangle & cut into 2-in squares.

---

Whisk eggs w / water , paprika + pepper & use a pastry brush to brush the surface of the squares.

---

Place 1 slice of pepperoni , a sml cube of cheese & 1 / 2 grape in the center of ea pastry square.

---

Bring the corners inward to form envelopes & secure each w / 1 of the soaked wooden toothpicks.

---

Brush the surface of the envelopes w / the rest of the egg mixture , place on a greased baking tray & bake for 15 min or till lightly browned.

---

Allow to cool slightly , remove toothpicks & serve warm or allow to cool to room temp & serve.

---

The toothpicks work great here to allow for consistently shaped puffs & easy handling ! :-).

---

I have corrected for that by adding back the pepperoni slices now in the ingredients & prep.
