Directions
- Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 24-cup (1¾-inch) mini muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- Prepare Goat Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine softened goat cheese and Weber® Southern Comfort™ Whiskey Flavored Seasoning until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet. Roll it into a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry into 24 (2½-inch) squares. Press each square into the mini muffin pan cups.
- Assemble Bites: Fill each pastry square with 1 tsp cranberry sauce and 1 tsp goat cheese mixture.
- Bake and Finish: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios before serving.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crispiness, bake the puff pastry squares for 2 minutes before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
