Filled Puff Pastry Cup Appetizers, just one of many......


Now that we have made our puff pastry boats or cups the question of what to fill them with comes to mind. A few posts ago I posted a Fig and Onion Spread or Tapenade and said I'd be back with a simple way to present it, so let's get right to it.
In a mixing bowl using a paddle attachment  combine 1 cup of soft Goats Cheese with 1/2 cup of the Fig and Onion Tapenade, whip together on medium speed scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula a couple of times until the Goats Cheese and Tapenade are well incorporated, transfer contents to a pastry bag or bowl if you do not have a pastry bag. Now pipe or spoon the desired amount into the pastry cups, pop into a 375 degree oven for 2 mins, just until the cheese begins to soften then garnish with dried diced fig and chive.(garnish optional)
There are many many more fillings from salads to hot meat stews one could make these tasty little appetizers with, literally hundreds of combinations and recipes, go wild and get creative combining your favorite flavors, you might just surprise yourself.
Have a Great Day and "Think Good Thoughts & Smile"..........
