Leek and Prosciutto Puff Pastries
August 30, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under cheese, leek, pastry, prosciutto
In addition to all of the lovely goodies that everyone brought to the Big Summer Potluck, we were also given a few products to sample, including some amazingly creamy goat cheese. There happened to be some left over at the end of the day, so our hostesses generously gave it to us to take home…and even though I had to drive for several hours, I couldn’t pass it up! I made a makeshift refrigerator with some cold soda bottles, and it was totally worth it. When I got home, I baked up these savory puff pastries before I could devour the rest of the cheese on crackers. With store-bought puff pastry on hand, they were easy appetizers! I made these for me and the hubby, but you can easily double the recipe for company.
- 2/3 sheet puff pastry
- 1/2 leek, chopped
- 1-2 ounces prosciutto
- 2 ounces goat cheese
Thaw the puff pastry, and then cut it 8 squares. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Chop up the leek and prosciutto.
Using your fingers, crumble 2 ounces of the goat cheese.
Top the pastries with the leeks, prosciutto, and crumbled cheese.
Bake 15 minutes or until the pastries puff up and turn golden brown.
Serve immediately.

The brand of the cheese is Purple Haze….LOL! Makes me think of Jimmy Hendrix!

This past month I’ve had a minor (OK…make that major) obsession with puff pastry. I just created a puff pastry and prosciutto recipe yesterday. Great minds think alike. This looks delicious!

Those look gorgeous! I’ve never used puff pastry before (even storebought) and am grateful for the step-by-step photos.

I thank the gods that aligned to enlighten whoever invented puff pastry. It’s seriously a culinary miracle.

Hi Tracy – I made these Friday night for a party and they were a big hit! I used a full sheet of puff pastry and cut it into smaller pieces. They were all gone by the end of the night! Thanks for the recipe.
