## Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delectable swirls:
- **1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed**
- **1 cup of fresh blackberries**
- **4 oz of Brie cheese, cut into small pieces (bonus points if you leave some of the rind on!)**
- **2 tablespoons of honey**
- **1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)**
- **1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)**
- **A pinch of salt**
## Steps to Create Magic
Creating these little delights is as simple as it sounds:
1. **Preheat your oven** to 400°F (200°C). Get that kitchen warming up!
2. **Roll out your puff pastry** on a lightly floured surface. It should be about 1/8 inch thick. If you find any tears or holes, just squish the pastry back together. No one will ever know!
3. **Assembling time!** Spread the blackberries evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Now, sprinkle the pieces of Brie all over the top. *Sigh*—isn’t it beautiful?
4. **Drizzle the honey** on top of the cheese and blackberries, bringing together that sweet and savory symphony.
5. **Sprinkle the rosemary** and a little pinch of salt over everything—this adds a flavor punch that you just can’t skip.
6. **Time to roll it up!** Starting at one end, gently roll the puff pastry into a log. Make it as tight as possible without squishing the filling out.
7. **Slice that log** into about 1-inch rounds. You should end up with around 12 swirls.
8. **Place the swirls** on a lined baking sheet, giving them a little space to breathe. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for that gorgeous golden color.
9. **Bake them for 20-25 minutes** or until they're puffed and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell absolutely divine at this point—patience is a virtue!
10. **Let them cool** for a few minutes before devouring. Trust me, those hot fillings can be *scorchingly* delicious.
## Cooking Tips
- Don’t worry if your pastry doesn’t look perfect. Remember, it’s about taste, not Instagram perfection (though a touch-up never hurts!).
- If you can’t find blackberries, raspberries or even sliced strawberries can be delightful substitutes.
- Have extra rosemary on hand? Chopping it finely and adding it to other dishes is a great way to enjoy its wonderful flavor.
