Pepperoni & Swiss Bites
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 12 x 12 sheet of puff pastry
- pepperoni or other sliced deli meat
- 6 slices swiss cheese (or any other cheese)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (dried works too)
- 4 Tbl honey mustard
DIRECTIONS:
- Cut the puff pastry in half so you have 2 strips. Lay them out in front of you so that the long side is perpendicular to your body.
- Spread 2 Tbl of honey mustard (more if you love mustard) on the pastry leaving a 1 inch strip bare along the top.
- Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp thyme on each section. Cover the mustard with a single layer of pepperoni or other meat.
- Place 3 slices of cheese on each strip.
- With your fingers, carefully roll the pastry away from you so you have two long tubes. Cut them on the diagonal into 1 inch pcs and place on a cookie sheet. You can also cut them thinner and make pinwheels.
- Bake at 375 F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 22 – 24 pcs. You can serve them with extra honey mustard for dipping if you like.

Strawberry Jam & Brie Bites
INGREDIENTS:
- Wedge/Circle of brie cheese, cut into 32 bite-size pieces
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup of your jam of choice (I used my homemade black raspberry & strawberry jam)
- Turbinado Sugar
- Water
- Spray bottle with water
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray 2 cookies sheets with cooking spray. Cut each pastry sheet into 16 squares (for a total of 32 squares). I did this by cutting each sheet in half, then I cut each half in half. Repeat in opposite direction and you will end up with 16 squares.
- Place one piece of brie in the center of each square, then top each with about a teaspoon of the jam. Wet your finger and run it along all four edges of a square, then bring the four corners together in the center and pinch together. You also want to pinch along the edges to seal.
- Once all my little bundles were done, I sprayed them with fresh/clean water – just lightly, don’t soak them. If you don’t have a spray bottle, you could gently brush them with a little water. Sprinkle each with the turbinado sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
