Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 8 ounces goat cheese
  • 3 cups cherries pitted
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut pastry into one-inch squares. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and press the center of each square with your thumb to make an indentation. Place about ½ teaspoon of goat cheese in each indentation.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  • While the pastry and goat cheese bake, add remaining ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cherries will begin to release juices. Stir until sugar is dissolved in the liquid and cook until bubbling (about 3 minutes). Reduce heat to medium low and let mixture simmer and thicken (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally to break down cherries.
  • Spoon about ½ teaspoon of cherry mixture over each bite. Serve warm.
