Instructions
-
Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Start by seasoning the goat cheese (caprino) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
-
-
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a flat surface. Using a 3.5 cm diameter round cutter, cut out 40 discs. Place 20 of these discs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Cut Smaller Discs: Take the remaining 20 discs and use a smaller 2.5 cm cutter to make smaller circles in the center of each one, creating 1 cm wide rings.
-
Assemble the Pastry: Using a fork, gently prick the surface of the discs placed on the baking sheet. Place one of the pastry rings on top of each disc, aligning them perfectly.
-
Prepare the Honey-Tyme Topping: In a small bowl, pour the chestnut honey and add some thyme leaves. Stir to infuse the honey with the aromatic thyme.
-
Brush and Bake: Brush the pastry with the egg yolk mixed with a tablespoon of whole milk for a golden finish.
-
Finish and Serve: Once baked, drizzle the honey mixture over the puff pastry bites. Serve your Bocconcini di Sfoglia with Cheese and Honey warm, with a side bowl of honey-thyme mixture for dipping.
These delicate and savory appetizers, with a delightful blend of sweet honey and tangy goat cheese, are perfect for any occasion! Enjoy the crisp puff pastry paired with the aromatic thyme, offering a delicious balance of flavors.
