How to Make a Goat Cheese Appetizer
You’ll wonder how a recipe with only 4 ingredients, that can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes, can taste so good and look so elegant! Your friends will think you’re oh-so-fancy 🙂
While entertaining guests recently for our supper club, we were surprised to see the kids gobbling them up! See, they do please just about everyone!
Step 1
This recipe is as simple as thawing and rolling out your puff pastry. Then using a 2-inch cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, and cutting rounds in the dough.
Step 2
Now, after you cut the rounds from the dough, you transfer them to a parchment-lined cookie sheet, press down the center so they don’t puff too much, place some goat cheese in the center and then bake.
Step 3
Once they’re out of the oven, drizzle with honey and garnish with a sprig of thyme and you’re done and ready to serve!
These make the best holiday appetizer when garnished with that fresh thyme!
Tips for Making Goat Cheese and Honey Bites
- This recipe can be halved for a small party. Use just 1 sheet of puff pastry dough.
- Don’t forget to push the center of each round down. If you don’t, the pastry will puff up and you may lose your cheese!
- These bites are best served warm out of the oven, so plan accordingly.
- Although we haven’t tried it, readers substitute feta cheese with good results.
