Description

These Goat Cheese and Honey Bites are an elegant, bite-sized appetizer that balances the tangy creaminess of goat cheese with the sweet richness of honey. Finished with a sprinkle of herbs or nuts, they’re perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or a quick gourmet snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 6 oz fresh goat cheese (soft chèvre)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Fresh thyme leaves (or rosemary)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

  • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet or mini muffin tin with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the puff pastry

  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut into 2-inch squares using a knife or pastry cutter.
  • Place squares into the cups of a mini muffin tin (or directly on a baking sheet if flat bites).

Step 3: Add the goat cheese

  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of each pastry square.
  • Make sure not to overfill to prevent overflow during baking.

Step 4: Brush with egg wash

  • Beat 1 egg and lightly brush the edges of each pastry square.
  • This helps create a golden, shiny finish.

Step 5: Bake

  • Place in the oven and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 6: Finish with honey

  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle a small amount of honey over each bite.

Step 7: Garnish

  • Sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary.
  • Add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt for balance.
