Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 4 oz goat cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
- Mix softened goat cheese with salt and thyme if using. Spread a thin layer over each pastry strip, leaving a ¼ inch border. Distribute blackberries evenly on top, drizzle with honey if desired.
- Fold or roll the strips into twists or spirals. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed. Monitor closely to prevent over-browning.
Notes
- Allow twists to cool fully before storing to maintain crispness.
- Reheat briefly in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crunch.
- Use ripe blackberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
