Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry
- 6-8 oz. goat cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 sprigs thyme
Instructions
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Follow the package instructions for thawing the puff pastry sheets. Once thawed, roll out the dough slightly to flatten it evenly for easier cutting.
- Cut and Shape Pastry: Using a 2-inch circle cookie or biscuit cutter (or the rim of a small glass), cut rounds out of the rolled puff pastry dough. Transfer these rounds onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently press your thumb into the center of each round to create an indentation for the filling.
- Add Goat Cheese and Bake: Place approximately 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the indentation of each puff pastry round. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pastry is flaky and golden brown.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pastry bites to cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle each piece with honey and garnish with a pinch of finely chopped fresh thyme leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the puff pastry completely for easy handling and even baking.
- You can substitute fresh thyme with rosemary or omit if preferred.
- These bites are best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
- For a stronger goat cheese flavor, use the full 8 oz. or soften the cheese slightly before filling.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container and reheat briefly before serving.
