Ingredients

  • 1 package gluten free puff pastry (10oz), I use DuFour which I buy at Whole Foods in the freezer section where they sell pie crust, phyllo dough, etc
  • 1 log goat cheese (4 oz ), I use honey truffle goat cheese
  • 1 egg beaten with 1/2 tablespoon cold water
  • Sesame seeds I prefer multi colored
  • Honey your favorite
  • Fresh dill leaves optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Defrost puff pastry according to package directions.
  • Unfold the sheet and cut into quarters. Cut each quarter into 5 approximately equal rectangles (see above photos). Use a fork to make an indentation in the middle of the rectangles for the goat cheese and then prick some fork holes to allow the pastry to bake even and flat.
  • Place a large teaspoonful of goat cheese in the middle. (I don’t measure. I approximate.)
  • Next, brush the egg wash along the edges of the rectangle. Once again, it’s not an exact science.
  • Sprinkle the wash with sesame seeds and top goat cheese with a drizzle of honey.
  • Transfer the rectangles to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cook for 18 minutes, until puff pastry edges are golden brown.
  • Transfer Goat Cheese Puffs to a platter. If desired, drizzle with a bit more honey and top with dill (or your favorite herb). Serve while warm.

Notes

Any type of rough chopped toasted nut would also be delicious as a topper.
Half of the package will make 10 goat cheese puffs. If only using half of the dough, keep it refrigerated until ready to use again but wait no more than 3 days to do so.
