Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 oz goat cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s even and flat.
- Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over the entire pastry sheet.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce on top of the goat cheese, spreading it out gently.
- Starting from one side, roll the pastry tightly to form a log.
- Slice the log into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a lovely golden color when baked.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the swirls puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy while warm.
Notes
Feel free to swap the goat cheese with cream cheese or a dairy-free alternative. The cranberry sauce can be replaced with any fruit preserve, like raspberry or fig, for a unique twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
