Goat Cheese Phyllo Puffs

This is a recipe I adapted from the original. The original recipe makes four large puffs that are cut into sections for serving. I changed things around so they are individual pillows of yumminess. Perfect for your next party.

Goat Cheese Phyllo Puffs
Makes 30 hors d'oeurves.

1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
App. 1/4 cup tomato preserves or favorite fruit preserves (I used a jalapeno jelly.)
3 ounces goat cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Unfold one puff pastry sheet on work surface. Cut along natural seams to create three strips. Then cut each strip into five pieces. Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry. You should end up with 30 rectangular pieces of puff pastry.

Working with one piece at a time, place a teaspoon of preserves and a teaspoon-size piece of goat cheese in the middle of one end of the piece. Fold the other end over and seal edges tightly with your fingers.

Place puffs on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving. (No need for burning your guests with hot goat cheese!)

They're perfect with a glass of bubbly!
