Calabrian Chili and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Bites

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the thawed (but still cold) puff pastry to smooth out creases and slightly enlarge it. Using a paring knife, cut the pastry into 15 equal squares.

3. Arrange the squares on the prepared baking sheets. Score a ¼-inch border around the edges of each square, being careful not to cut all the way through. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the center of each square to prevent puffing.

4. Spread about 1 teaspoon of chopped Calabrian chiles in the center of each square. Crumble goat cheese over the chiles. Tear each slice of prosciutto in half and place a piece on top of the goat cheese. Add a halved olive and a sprig of thyme to each square.

5. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash for a golden finish.

6. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries are puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with SideDish Honey Dijon dressing. Serve warm and enjoy!
