For what many consider the ultimate in colorful party pleasers, offer guests mouthwatering Avocado-Pear-Honey Pastry Rounds. Simply top baked puff pastries with thin slices of avocado and pear, a crumble of Gorgonzola cheese and a drizzle of honey. This appetizer can tempt the senses and delight guests, while adding festive color to the table. Ingredients:
Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees, lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Lightly flour cutting surface and cut 1 1/2-inch round circles from pastry sheet (each sheet makes 24 pieces). Place on prepared baking sheet one inch apart. Whisk egg yolk and water in small bowl to create an egg wash; brush mixture over each pastry round. Bake for 15 minutes until tops of rounds are puffed and golden brown. Transfer rounds to wire rack to cool. (Pastry rounds may be baked in advance and kept in airtight container at room temperature, for up to two days.) Gently split each puffed round with sharp knife to create a small pocket. Place a slice of avocado atop a slice of pear, and sprinkle lightly with lemon juice. Place slices on bottom of pastry, and top with 1/2 tsp of crumbled cheese. Loosely close pastry pockets and place on serving tray. Squeeze honey bottle about 12 inches above platter, drizzle a bit of honey on each pastry and serve immediately. Serving Size: Makes 48 Appetizers |
