Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry to about ¼ inch thick and place it in the center of the lined baking sheet.
  3. Cook the diced pancetta in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
  4. Spread cranberry sauce in the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle the crispy pancetta over the sauce.
  5. Slice the Brie cheese and layer it over the top of the tart filling.
  6. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to create a rustic border and pinch to secure.
  7. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden color during baking.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden-brown and the Brie is melted.
  9. Cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
