Cheese Puffs
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed)
- 6 ounces Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 egg (lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
- 1//2 cup Raspberry Sauce (or preserves)
Cheese Puffs
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Roll out the puff pastry to smooth creases and cut each sheet into 36 even sized squares (see notes).
2 sheets puff pastry
Place the puff pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Poke a few holes into the center of each puff pastry square with a fork.
Combine the Gruyere cheese and thyme and divide evenly onto the centers of the puff pastry squares.
6 ounces Gruyere cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Fold the corners in slightly and brush the puff pastry with the egg mixture.
1 egg
Bake for 12-15 minutes. The pastry may be puffed up, but should quickly deflate once out of the oven. You can press the centers down with your finger or small spoon, if needed.
Top each cheese puff with 1/4 teaspoon or so of the raspberry sauce.
1//2 cup Raspberry Sauce
Garnish with extra thyme, if desired.
Tips & Techniques
- Be sure to set the puff pastry out about an hour before you begin baking to allow it to fully thaw.
- You can use any herbs you prefer. Basil, rosemary, and sage are great choices.
- You can make cheese puffs and any size. Larger puffs will need a few extra minutes of bake time.
- Store extra cheese puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat the puffs at 350°F for just a few minutes.
