Creamy Havarti Puffs

These puff pastry delights are so easy to whip up and will make you look like the most competent host. With the creamy flavour of our Havarti, we recommend a sweet pear or fig chutney for your first attempt, but don’t be scared to get creative!

Ingredients:

200 g Whitestone Cheese Creamy Havarti
2 sheets ready to bake puff pastry, defrosted
180g fruit chutney, pick your favourite
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
Sea salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 220°C.

Roll out the defrosted puff pastry and cut each sheet into 8 squares. Place the 16 squares on some baking paper and a tray.

Put a piece of Havarti, dollop of chutney, sprinkle of walnuts and tiny taste of thyme into the centre of each square.

Whisk the egg and water together in a bowl to create an egg wash.

Brush the egg wash around the perimeter of each pastry square.

Pinch the opposite corners of each pastry square together to create a little pastry package which all comes together at the top – top right corner pinched with bottom left corner etc.

Brush the top of each pastry package with more egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Best eaten fresh when the cheese is still melted!
