Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thawing a sheet of puff pastry in your refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing it to become cold yet pliable.
  2. Cut the pastry into even strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Place a slice of Brie cheese and a small dollop of cranberry sauce on one half of each strip, followed by a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
  3. Fold the unfilled portion of the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing gently, then twist the entire strip for a spiral effect.
  4. Transfer the twists to a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the twists gently with an egg wash and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and beautifully golden.
  6. Once baked, remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving.
