Honey Thyme Gruyère Baked in Puff Pastry
Who doesn’t like melted cheese and pastry? Just the thought of this recipe for Honey Thyme Gruyère Baked in Puff Pastry makes my mouth water! It’s one of those recipes that looks difficult but takes only a few minutes to put together and that makes it very dangerous considering that you could potentially make this and eat it all yourself! It’s really that good!
Cubes of Gruyère Cheese are sprinkled with thyme and drizzled with hot honey (I used Mike’s) and baked in a nest of puff pastry! It comes out of the oven looking like the best ooey gooey bread ever and it might just be! I served this pan of deliciousness hot out of the oven with Hot Pepper Cranberry Jelly. A simple green salad with pears, dried cranberries, walnuts and a little sautèed pancetta seemed a perfect accompaniment! A little slice of Gruyère puff pastry alongside a serving of salad is such a delicious lunch, with, of course, a glass of Rosé! This is a recipe to serve all year long!
If you want to serve as an hors d’oeuvre for the holidays, I suggest serving with sliced pear and apple slices for a beautiful presentation! The recipe is below! Enjoy…
