Simple Ingredients, Big Flavours

These Easy Fig Puffs are made with just a few simple ingredients that pack a punch. Fresh figs add natural sweetness and a unique texture, while the creamy goat cheese provides a rich contrast. Puff pastry is the star here, offering a light and flaky base that elevates these bites. Drizzle them with honey and sprinkle with fresh thyme for added flavour that ties everything together.

Effortless Steps for Perfect Easy Fig Puffs

Creating these Easy Fig Puffs is both straightforward and enjoyable! Begin by unfolding the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface, then use a sharp knife to cut it into equal squares.

Next, it’s time to shape the pastry into a star. For each square, make a diagonal cut near each corner, ensuring each cut is about 1 cm long and connects to the nearest corner. After cutting all four corners, gently fold one corner toward the centre, aligning it with the midpoint of the adjacent diagonal. Then, fold the next corner over the previous one, allowing it to overlap slightly. Continue with the third corner, and finally, tuck the last corner underneath to secure it in place. This technique will create a lovely four-pointed star shape.

Now, it’s time to fill your pastry! Spoon creamy goat cheese into the centre of each star and top it with a slices of fresh fig. To achieve a beautiful golden finish, brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash before placing them in the oven.

Bake until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
