Creating your Cranberry Brie Tart with Pancetta & Thyme is a simple process. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat while you prepare the tart.
2. Cook Pancetta: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press it firmly into the pan and trim any excess edges.
4. Add Cranberries: Spread the fresh cranberries evenly across the bottom of the tart shell.
5. Layer in Brie: Arrange slices of Brie cheese on top of the cranberries, ensuring an even coverage.
6. Add Pancetta: Sprinkle the cooked pancetta over the Brie layer.
7. Season: Sprinkle the brown sugar, thyme leaves, and a little salt and pepper over the top.
8. Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the Brie is bubbly.
10. Cool: Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.

By following these instructions, you’re sure to achieve a beautifully baked Cranberry Brie Tart with Pancetta & Thyme that delights the senses.
