Goat Cheese in Puff Pastry with Balsamic Vinegar

Saturday, January 23, 2010

An offering from Zanna at Zannaland.

Ingredients:

Pillsbury frozen puff pastry shells
Log of goat cheese
Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh basil

Follow the preheating instructions and place the tarts on a non-stick cookie sheet, or one lined with parchment. Slice rounds of the cheese and place on top of the tarts. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to your tastes. Chop the basil and sprinkle on top. Bake according to tart instructions or until golden brown. If you don’t want the inside part of the tarts to be a little doughy, cook them for about 5 minutes without the cheese and toppings, then add those and continue cooking. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

You can of course mix and match any other toppings you like, or even use your own puff pastry recipe. As is it’s just a really easy, elegant appetizer to serve up during a dinner party or anytime. It’ll look like you spent hours slaving over a hot oven, when really, it took minutes!
