Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 100 grams blue cheese
- 50 grams walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet so it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Step 3
Place the squares onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
Step 4
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush a thin layer of egg wash onto each piece of puff pastry.
Step 5
Divide the blue cheese evenly among the squares, placing a small amount (~8-10 grams) in the center of each square.
Step 6
Coarsely chop the walnuts and sprinkle an equal amount over the cheese on each square.
Step 7
Drizzle a small amount of honey (about 1/2 teaspoon) over the cheese and walnuts on each square for added sweetness.
Step 8
Fold up the edges of the puff pastry slightly to create a small border around the toppings, pressing gently to secure.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 10
Allow the Blue Cheese Walnut Bites to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer!
