Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.

So this is getting posted a little late...but 3.14 was PI DAY!!!!!!!

I still had a bit of piecrust dough left over from Homemade Poptarts I made, but not enough to make a full out pie...so I made it work.

Thus I made these:
BLACKBERRY LEMON GOAT CHEESE SQUARES
Ingredients

6 oz goat cheese, at room temperature

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons honey

1-2 tablespoons milk

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

1/2 pint blackberries

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

small handful arugula

Method

Preheat oven 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment & set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, lemon zest, honey & milk together. In another small bowl stir the blackberries with the balsamic vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.  On a lightly floured surface, cut the puff pastry into 2 inch squares. Place squares onto the parchment lined sheet  about 2 inches apart and score a square into the pastry making sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom.

Place a dollop of lemon goat cheese on top of each square and top with a blackberry. Bake squares for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let squares cool and place a leaf of arugula under each blackberry. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Now as you might have noticed, the recipe calls for Puff Pastry Dough. This would have made this little guys absolutely decadent. Instead of going out and buying things, I made it it with what I had...aka Pie Crust and no arugula.






While these did not taste (or look) how they were originally intended, they turned out very nice and were nice quick bites for Husband when he just wanted a little something something before dinner or in the afternoon.

Until the next snack...
