Ok I'm sorry I don't have
any pictures up yet. I usually just make things spur of the moment and don’t
plan to take pics, but I promise I will get some up soon!
So this last Sat. was one of my good friend's party's. My house was volunteered as the Pregame. Even though other people were bringing food, being the slightly neurotic person i am i wanted to throw together something too just in case. I scavenged through my fridge and found goat cheese jalapenos and pastry puffs. So I decided to throw something together.
Everyone loved them! I was so happy! (Honestly I had NO idea how they would taste so i was a little nervous!) Here is what I did:
I finely chopped 3 jalapenos (I left the seeds in for an extra kick, but for a less spicy version make sure you de seed them!) And I added them to a bowl with a little tub of goat cheese. I mixed them in until the goat cheese was soft and everything was combined. Then i flavored it with some salt and pepper and paprika. Then I added in grated cheddar cheese and combined again. I took out the pastry puff and sliced it into about 3" X 3" squares, and laid them on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. (I like to line with tin foil b/c they always stick to the pan and it’s easier to peel the foil off the pastry then to rip a crumbled pastry off a baking sheet.) I painted each puff with a beaten egg and a pastry brush, and then I added the jalapeno mixture into the center of each pastry square. I put it in the oven at 350 F for approx. 20 mins. Mean while I sliced another jalapeno into thin circles, and deseeded the slices. When just about done baking, i took out the pan, and to each pastry i topped with more cheddar and one jalapeno circle.
Jalapeno Popper Pastry:
4 Jalapenos; 3 finely chopped, 1 thinly sliced de-seeded
5 oz Goat Cheese
1C Cheddar Cheese, grated
Salt, Pepper, Paprika to taste
1/2 Package Pastry Puff (1 Sheet), thawed
1 Egg, beaten
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a bowl mix together goat cheese, chopped jalapenos and 3/4 C cheddar cheese. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Let sit at room temperature about 5 mins. Meanwhile slice pastry puff sheet into
3" X 3" squares. Place on prepared baking sheet, and paint on egg to top of each square. Put a drop (about 1 tbs) jalapeno mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Place in oven for about 20 mins. When about done baking remove baking sheet and top each square with remaining cheese and one jalapeno slice.
Note: to make more spicy keep the jalapeno seeds in the cheese mixture.
