Recipe Notes

-To freeze assembled unbaked Olive Brie Puffs place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze. After frozen, place individual puffs into airtight freezer bags. Do not apply egg wash until ready to bake.
-When ready to bake, apply the egg wash. If baking from frozen, keep the oven temperature the same, adding 3 to 5 minutes to the baking time.
-Olive Brie Puffs may also be fully baked, then frozen (following the freezing directions above) and reheated in the oven.
