Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 green onions - about 2 tbsp (chopped finely) (can also use chives)
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley*
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  • Roll out puff pastry sheet and use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 rectangles (see photo below) - 3x4.
  • Lift each rectangle and gently stretch it into more of a square.  Nestle it into the well of a muffin cup.  Once they are all filled, set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, use a hand mixer to whip cream cheese and goat cheese until creamy. 
  • Add garlic and herbs and mix well.  Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between puff pastry bites. 
  • Bake for 17 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.  Serve warm or at room temperature.  Garnish with extra chopped herbs or chives (optional).  Enjoy! :)

Notes

* You can use any combination of herbs you like.  Dill, basil and tarragon would also be delicious!
