Summary:

Indulge in the perfect balance of sweet and savory with these puff pastry swirls filled with creamy goat cheese and sweet fig jam, topped with a sprinkle of crushed pecans and a drizzle of honey. Serve these golden puff pastries as appetizers at your next gathering or enjoy them as delicious snacks.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pack of puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 200g of goat cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup of fig jam
  • 1/2 cup of crushed pecans
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tblsp milk (for egg wash)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Evenly spread the softened goat cheese over the pastry sheets, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Spread the fig jam on top of the goat cheese layer.
  5. Sprinkle the crushed pecans over the fig jam.
  6. Roll up the puff pastry tightly, starting from one of the shorter sides and working towards the other side.
  7. Slice the rolled up pastry into 1-inch pieces and place them on the prepared baking tray. Make sure to keep some distance between each swirl to allow them to puff up properly.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt to create an egg wash. Brush this lightly over the top of each swirl.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Allow the swirls to cool for a few minutes, then lightly drizzle with honey before serving.

These delicious puff pastry swirls pair perfectly with a chilled glass of white wine. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for an ultimate taste sensation!
