Yield Makes 24 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 puff pastry sheet (from one 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets), thawed
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water
1/4 pound chilled Stilton cheese
1/2 cup quince jam*
*available at specialty foods shops.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. and lightly butter a baking sheet.
  • On a lightly floured surface cut out 24 pastry rounds from pastry sheet with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter and arrange 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Brush tops of rounds with some egg wash (be careful not to drip down sides of rounds) and bake in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes (rounds will puff unevenly). Transfer rounds with a spatula to a rack and cool slightly. Trim bottoms of rounds if necessary to create level pastries and cool completely on rack. Pastry rounds may be made 2 days ahead and kept in a sealable plastic bag at room temperature.
  • Break Stilton into 24 small pieces (about 1/4 inch) and bring to room temperature. Top each pastry round with 1 piece Stilton and 1/2 teaspoon jam and serve at room temperature.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pastries turned out really dry. I think I must have overcooked them.

These pastries were a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

These pastries were a bit too time-consuming to make for a weeknight meal, but they would be perfect for a special occasion.

I'm not a huge fan of Stilton cheese, but I thought these pastries were still pretty good. The quince jam helped to balance out the strong flavor of the cheese.

The pastries were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the dough.

These pastries were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese.

These puff pastries were a hit at my party! The combination of Stilton cheese and quince jam was unexpected but delicious. The pastry was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again.
