Figs-in-a-Blanket With Goat Cheese

Ingredients

• 12 figs, fresh or dried

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese with honey and salt until smooth.
4. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 24 squares, each about 2 inches.
5. Place a small spoonful of the goat cheese mixture onto each pastry square.
6. Top with a half fig and wrap the pastry around it, pinching the edges to seal.
7. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
9. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
