Not only does goat milk make our goat milk soaps super rich and nourishing, but it can also be a nutritious ingredient in your kitchen. Gourmet Goat loves to share her favorite recipes made with goat milk and goat cheese, and here is her latest: Goat Cheese Puffs.

Gourmet Goat has created a recipe for the perfect appetizers that everyone will love!
Ingredients:
- 4 oz herb goat cheese
- 1 package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- flour
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees
- After thawing the puff pastry sheets, lay them out on a floured surface. Flour the top and roll out with a rolling pin ( don’t roll the dough too thin).
- Using a cup, twist the rim of the cup into the dough to make perfect circle cut-outs.
- In the center of each circle add about a ½ Tablespoon of herb goat cheese ( if the goat cheese is too hard to manage you can mix it up in the blender).
- Fold the circles of dough with goat cheese in them into half circles. Seal the puff by brushing a wet finger around the edge and pinching down the edges.
- Make these goat cheese puffs look professional by pressing the tips of a fork around the edge of the outside portion of the dough.
- Place the goat cheese puffs on a cookie sheet
- Make an egg wash by mixing together 1 egg and a Tablespoon of water. Brush a little of the egg wash over all of the goat cheese puffs (this will make them a beautiful shade of golden brown).
- Place them in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes ( or until golden brown).
Note: these make a great appetizer when served with warm marinara sauce!
