These cheesy and easy four-ingredient appetizers will remind you of brie baked 'en croûte'-which is the French term for anything baked in pastry. Here, the delicious handheld parcels are made from storebought puff pastry and filled with nutty Gouda cheese. Topped off with a dollop of lingonberry jam for sweetness, they'll be the first to go on the buffet table!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to an approximately 11-by-16-inch rectangle. Trim edges straight to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. With the tines of a fork, prick pastry all over at 1/2-inch intervals. Cut into twenty-four 2 1/2-inch squares (a 4-by-6 grid). Press each square into the cup of a mini muffin tin. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon Dijon into bottom of each pastry shell. Refrigerate until pastry is firm, at least 15 minutes.
- Bake until pastry cups are puffed, golden along edges, and beginning to set, about 15 minutes. Working quickly, remove from oven and press a cube of cheese into center of each pastry with the handle of a wooden spoon. (Cheese should depress pastry to reach bottom of cup.)
- Continue baking until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool in tins a few minutes. Transfer to a serving tray, top with jam, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve warm.
