Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

cheese and herb puffs

Perfect for entertaining, these cheese and herb puffs are inspired by the Georgian dish khachapuri, a cheese-filled bread (sometimes also filled with meat, egg and other delicious things).

When I say these cheese puffs make for great entertaining or apero snacks, I really mean that you should make extra so that you don’t eat them all yourself with not enough left for your guests… because that never happened.

My mom and I made these cheese puffs last weekend and they were so easy and delicious. Also made for a fun family activity, and we could all use more of those around the holidays!

Cheese and herb puffs
Author: Saffron & Honey
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Georgian
Prep time:  30 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  55 mins
Serves: 12
 
Golden cheese and herb puffs, filled with feta cheese, fresh onion, garlic, and dill.
Ingredients
  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 2 T butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
  • 1 pack feta cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 T chopped dill
  • 2 T chopped spring onion
Instructions
  1. Take puff pastry out of the freezer and let it defrost for about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 365F.
  2. In the meantime, make the filling: grate the feta cheese into a bowl, add 1 egg, melted butter, garlic, and herbs. Mix well to combine.
  3. Roll out the pastry sheets to a rectangular shape. Cut each sheet into 6 squares. Put 3 T of filling in the middle of each square and fold it up (like a dumpling), pinching the sides and the top.
  4. Spread the cheese and herb puffs out on a baking sheet - you will likely need two - lined with baking paper.
  5. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until opened up and golden.

These are delicious hot or cold. Serve them as appetizers or with drinks before dinner.

Keep them loosely covered, and they will keep for a day or two (if they last that long in your house – they didn’t here!)

    I can see why these disappeared. They look delicious and a lot of fun to put together.

    […] Our menu included some new favorites, like this juicy persimmon & fennel pork roast, and the fastest thing to disappear off of the holiday table – cheese and herb puffs (hint: the simple recipe is here). […]
