Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 6 tablespoons fig jam
  • 4 ounce log goat cheese

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Stack 2 large baking sheets on top of each other. Line the stacked sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Lay 1 frozen puff pastry on another sheet of parchment. Roll it out to about 12 inches.
  3. Evenly spread 6 tablespoons of jam over the pastry, leaving 1/2 inch of 1 edge bare for sealing.
  4. Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese on top of the jam.
  5. Brush the bare edge with water to help it stick.
  6. Starting at the opposite edge, roll the pastry into a log. Place the seam-side down on a small cutting board and freeze until firm enough to slice, 20 to 30 minutes.

Notes

After freezing, slice the log into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Bake the rounds on the prepared baking sheets for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
