Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 4-ounce log goat cheese
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Chopped fresh thyme, for garnish

Optional Additions

  • A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry Circles: On a floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to smooth them out. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut approximately 24 circles from the dough.
  3. Create Wells in Pastry: Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently indent the center of each pastry circle to form a small well that will hold the filling.
  4. Fill with Goat Cheese: Place about 1 tablespoon of goat cheese into each well, distributing evenly across all the pieces.
  5. Bake: Arrange the filled bites on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  6. Add Honey and Garnish: Remove the bites from the oven and while still warm, drizzle each with about ½ teaspoon of honey. Sprinkle fresh chopped thyme over the top and add optional crushed red pepper flakes or chopped nuts if desired.
  7. Serve: Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or as part of a larger charcuterie or snack spread.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry dough is well thawed for easier handling and better puffing.
  • Use fresh honey for the best flavor balance with the tangy goat cheese.
  • For added texture and flavor, try sprinkling chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans before baking or as a final garnish.
  • These bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven if needed.
