Create elegant, sweet and savory bites using flaky puff pastry, creamy goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey. These are simple party finger foods perfect for wine night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces soft goat cheese, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the sheet into 12 equal squares.
  3. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the edges of each square lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  4. Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of chilled goat cheese in the center of each pastry square.
  5. Fold the corners of the pastry over the cheese toward the center, pinching the edges together lightly to form a rough, open-topped bundle or purse shape, leaving some cheese visible.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  7. Remove the bites from the oven. Immediately drizzle each warm bite with honey.
  8. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and a small grind of black pepper over the honey.
  9. Serve warm as a quick cocktail party snack.

Notes

  • For extra texture, you can press finely chopped pecans or walnuts onto the goat cheese before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicy note, substitute regular honey with hot honey.
  • These bites pair well with crackers or crostini if you want a base, though they stand alone well.
