Description
Blackberry Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Twists are a delightful appetizer that combines creamy goat cheese with sweet-tart blackberries, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry: 1 sheet (thawed if frozen)
- Goat cheese: 150 grams (softened)
- Fresh blackberries: 1 cup (approximately 150 grams)
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon (chopped)
- Egg: 1 (for egg wash)
- Salt: a pinch
- Black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface.
- Cut the pastry into strips that are about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
- In a bowl, mix the softened goat cheese, honey, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
- Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese mixture down the center of each pastry strip and add a few blackberries on top.
- Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling, pinch the edges to seal, and twist the ends in opposite directions.
- Brush the tops of each twist with an egg wash made from whisking the egg with a tablespoon of water.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown, then let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality, all-butter puff pastry for the best flavor.
- Thaw the puff pastry properly to avoid difficulty in handling.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruits or cheeses for variations.
