Nothing better than appetizer puff pastries to start your meal! But when Easter approaches, we give them a carrot look (just to thank the Easter bunnies for bringing us a mountain of chocolate eggs in the garden!). We show you our super easy trick to make puff pastry cones and above all we share with you the recipe for our goat cheese cream + dried tomatoes to delight you ;-)

Ingredients

1 rectangular puff pastry
8 sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup goat cream cheese (300 gr)
2 egg yolks
Parsley

Materials

Aluminum foil

Preparation

Preparation30 min

Cook time15 min

Cut the puff pastry into strips about 1 cm (0.4 inch) wide. We cut 16 of them out of a rectangular puff pastry.
Cut squares of aluminum foil and fold them into 4. Then form cones by rolling them.
Wrap a strip of puff pastry around an aluminum cone and repeat the operation with all the strips.
Arrange the cones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg yolk and cook for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Meanwhile, cut the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and mix them with the goat cheese. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
Remove the aluminum foil from the cones by turning them to unmold them more easily. Garnish the cones with the cheese + dried tomato mixture.
Plant a parsley leaf on top to form your little carrots and voila!

Observations

What can I substitute for goat cheese?
You can replace the goat cream cheese with classic cream cheese.

What can I substitute for sun-dried tomatoes?
You can replace the dried tomatoes with grated carrots for example if you want this recipe to remain vegetarian. Otherwise add tuna or ham.

How long can I keep this recipe?
You can store this recipe for 4-5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze these pastries?
You can of course freeze these pastries to eat them later! We recommend that you only freeze the puff pastry cone so that you can reheat it in the oven and keep it crispy. You can then garnish it.

Can these carrot puff pastries be made gluten-free?
You can use gluten-free puff pastry for this recipe.

Can we make these carrot puff pastries in a sweet version?
You can of course use shortbread or puff pastry and garnish your carrots with pastry cream, for example. You can replace the parsley with a mint leaf.
