Goats Cheese And Cranberry Tartlets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425*F (200*C).
• Lay pastry on floured work surface and cut into 7.
• 5 cm rounds.
• sit the circles on an oiled baking sheet and score a circle about 2.
• 5 cm from the edge of each disc by pressing gently with a 5 cm cutter.
• Pierce the middle with a fork, brush each edge with egg and top with a little cranberry sauce.
• Slice the cheese 5mm thick so that you have a slice per pastry disc.
• (discard end rinds) Lay a slice on each tartlet, then top with thyme leaves, a drizzle of oil and a twist of black pepper.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is golden and the pastry crispy.
• Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm with a garnish of rocket leaves.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 25 (about 2-inch) squares.
• 2. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese in the center of each pastry square. Top each with about 1/2 teaspoon chutney and about 1/2 teaspoon walnuts. Brush 2 opposite pastry corners with water. Fold the pastry corners up over the filling and overlap slightly at the top, forming an open-ended "envelope", and press to seal. Place the filled pastries onto 2 baking sheets.
• 3. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Sprinkle the pastries with the thyme before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss nuts with 1 teaspoon oil and cinnamon; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 4 to 6 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Spread baguette slices on same baking sheet and brush with remaining 3 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating pan halfway through; set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together cheese and 2 tablespoons water until smooth; stir in cranberries and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Divide goat cheese among bread slices and top each with a walnut and thyme leaves.
