These Goat Cheese and Honey Bites are elegant, bite-sized appetizers combining flaky puff pastry with tangy goat cheese, sweet honey drizzle, and a hint of fresh thyme. Perfect as a sophisticated snack or party starter.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

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

Optional Additions

  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare puff pastry: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to smooth them.
  3. Cut circles: Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut approximately 24 circles from the puff pastry sheets.
  4. Create wells: Press your thumb or spoon gently into the center of each circle to form a small indentation or well for the filling.
  5. Add goat cheese: Place about 1 tablespoon of goat cheese into each well of the puff pastry circles.
  6. Bake the bites: Arrange the prepared bites on the lined baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
  7. Drizzle and garnish: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle each bite with ½ teaspoon of honey and sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme. Optionally add crushed red pepper flakes or chopped nuts.
  8. Serve warm: Serve the goat cheese and honey bites warm as a sophisticated snack or part of a larger appetizer spread.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is thoroughly thawed but still cold for best puff.
  • You can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch and additional flavor.
  • These bites are best served immediately while warm and puffed.
  • Use fresh thyme for a brighter, more aromatic garnish.
