Goat Cheese Bites with Fig Jam

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a mini muffin tin with parchment paper or grease lightly with non-stick spray.
2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice the sheet into 24 equal squares (approximately 2-inch squares).
3. Press each square gently into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the mini muffin cups.
4. Place a small dollop (about 1 tsp) of chilled goat cheese in the center of each pastry square.
5. Top the cheese with a small teaspoon of fig jam, pressing it slightly into the cheese to lock it in place.
6. Brush the exposed edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash (beaten egg and water).
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the pastry is puffed high and deep golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt and fresh thyme leaves.
9. Drizzle the warmed honey over the top in a zig-zag motion.
