Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet (17.3 oz / 490g) frozen puff pastry, thawed but chilled
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) water
  • 4 oz (115g) goat cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) honey, divided
  • 4 oz (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced and torn into small pieces
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the chilled puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and slice into 24 equal squares (approximately 2x2 inches) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
  3. In a small bowl, whip together the softened goat cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, and black pepper until velvety.
  4. Place a small piece of prosciutto in the center of each pastry square, top with a rounded teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture, and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
  5. Beat the egg with water and brush the exposed edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry has puffed and edges are mahogany-colored.
  7. Immediately after removing from the oven, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of honey over the warm cheese.
