Fresh Goat Cheese Turnovers with Figs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package puff pastry, thawed
• 8 oz fresh goat cheese
• 4-5 ripe figs, thinly sliced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 4-inch squares. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
3. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Spoon 1 heaped tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture onto each pastry square. Place 2-3 slices of fig on top of the cheese.
5. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg, then fold over into a triangle shape. Seal the edges tightly with a fork.
6. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle with a little more thyme and black pepper.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Verdict:

These Fresh Goat Cheese Turnovers with Figs are the perfect combination of savory and sweet. The goat cheese and thyme are a delicious match for the ripe figs. The puff pastry is crispy and flaky, providing a lovely contrast in texture. Serve them warm as a main dish with a side salad, or as an appetizer for a dinner party.

Enjoy!
