Gooey Gouda Puff-Pastry Bites image

These cheesy and easy four-ingredient appetizers will remind you of brie baked 'en croûte'-which is the French term for anything baked in pastry. Here, the delicious handheld parcels are made from storebought puff pastry and filled with nutty Gouda cheese. Topped off with a dollop of lingonberry jam for sweetness, they'll be the first to go on the buffet table!

Time 1h

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet (about 14 ounces) all-butter puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 pound Gouda, rind removed, cut into 24 approximately 3/4-inch cubes
Lingonberry jam and freshly ground black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to an approximately 11-by-16-inch rectangle. Trim edges straight to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. With the tines of a fork, prick pastry all over at 1/2-inch intervals. Cut into twenty-four 2 1/2-inch squares (a 4-by-6 grid). Press each square into the cup of a mini muffin tin. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon Dijon into bottom of each pastry shell. Refrigerate until pastry is firm, at least 15 minutes.
  • Bake until pastry cups are puffed, golden along edges, and beginning to set, about 15 minutes. Working quickly, remove from oven and press a cube of cheese into center of each pastry with the handle of a wooden spoon. (Cheese should depress pastry to reach bottom of cup.)
  • Continue baking until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool in tins a few minutes. Transfer to a serving tray, top with jam, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve warm.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I think cheddar or mozzarella would be good.

I'm not a big fan of Gouda cheese, but I loved these bites. The pastry was flaky and the cheese was gooey and flavorful.

I used a different type of cheese and they still turned out great. This recipe is really versatile.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my puff pastry didn't rise. The bites were still tasty, but they were a little dense.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll use less butter next time.

The pastry was a little too thick for my liking. I think I'll roll it out thinner next time.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some herbs or spices next time.
