A delicious appetizer from FIne Cooking magazine. Ingredients:
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature (about 1/2 cup) |
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives |
1/4 cup minced yellow onion |
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
flour, for dustin |
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator |
Directions:
1. Position rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mash goat cheese with a fork. Add chives, onion, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry sheet and lightly dust with flour. Use a rolling pin to roll the sheet into a 12 square. Cut the dough into 9 squares. Put equal of the filling (about 1 tbsp.) onto the center of each square Moisten the edges of a square with a fingertip dipped in water. Fold the dough over to form a triangle, gently pressing to remove air pockets around the filling and pressing the edges of the dough together. Use the tines of a fork to crump and seal the edges of the turnover., Repeat this process with the other dough squares.
4. Arrange the turnovers on a cookie sheet and bake until the turnovers are puffed and golden all over. Let them cool on a rack for a few minutes and serve warm.
