Yield Makes about 36 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Freshly ground black pepper
About 3 tablespoons fig preserves

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Place the flour, butter, blue cheese, and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
  • 3. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull it together. Then roll out to a 1/8-inch-thick circle with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch round cutter and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Reroll the scraps (no more than once) and cut more rounds.
  • 4. Using the back of a rounded 1/2-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the center of each dough round. Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of the fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentation.
  • 5. Bake the savouries until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

I'm not a fan of figs, but I loved these savouries! The blue cheese was the perfect complement to the sweetness of the figs.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a stronger blue cheese. But overall, they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I loved these savouries! The sweetness of the figs balanced out the sharpness of the cheese perfectly. I would definitely make these again.

These were so easy to make and so delicious! I used a store-bought puff pastry dough to save time, and they still turned out great. The filling was flavorful and the pastry was flaky. Will definitely make these again.

I made these savouries for a picnic and they were a huge success. They were easy to make and transport, and they held up well in the heat. Everyone loved the unique flavor combination.
