These delicious puff pastry bites are the perfect appetizer! They're packed with flavor and a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
These puff pastry bites can be made anytime of year, but I especially love serving them at holiday parties in the winter. It's a nice warm appetizer to serve in those colder months!
Inspired by my Caramelized Onion and Fig Flatbread on this site, in both of these recipes the goat cheese flavor really makes the dish! If you're looking for other appetizers for fall/winter, check out these Acorn Squash Crostinis.

Instructions

Sauté mushrooms and onion in olive oil until onions are translucent and mushrooms are browned. Brown mushrooms for best tasting puff pastry bites.
Then, add spinach, garlic, salt and pepper to pan and stir until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Add mushroom mixture to a heat safe bowl. Then, mix in the goat cheese and ricotta until combined.
Gently roll out puff pastry with a rolling pin, then cut evenly into 12 squares.
In a well-greased muffin tin, gently the puff pastry individually into each cup.
Evenly distribute goat cheese mixture into each puff pastry cup.
Fold corners of puff pastry to the center, pinching together to seal.
Bake and enjoy your puff pastry bites!
Hint: If the puff pastry is having trouble sticking together when you fold in the puff pastry corners, add a dab of water. It will help the puff pastry stick.
Variations
- Spicy - add red pepper flakes into the goat cheese mixture for a kick!
Equipment
- Muffin tin or mini muffin tin
Top tip
Take the puff pastry bites out of the oven as soon as the puff pastry is golden brown, you don't want to dry them out!
