Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 sheets cold puff pastry
- 200 grams premium smoked salmon
- 300 grams whole milk feta
- 2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped black kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tabelspoons to drizzle maple syrup or honey
- to serve micro greens
Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, break up the feta with a fork and once it softens, begin to whip, aerating so it starts to look like cream cheese. Once completely smooth and fluffy, add the thyme and mix to incorporate.
Step 2
On clean working surface, cut your pastry into 4/6 (4 if you would like larger appetisers or 6 for single bite finger food style nipples). In the centre, dollop a large tablespoon of whipped feta, spreading to create an even layer with a small border left clean. Top with some cut olives. Gently fold the edges in, using that free edge to create a swirl style form. I like to do this very rustically so use your creativity and make each unique.
Step 3
Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (you will need two trays so you don’t crowd the pastries). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200℃. Using a pastry brush, paint the folded surfaces with the OEL. You can sprinkle with sesame seeds too but not necessary. Repeat to all pastries. Bake for 12-14 minutes on the middle rung or until golden brown on the surface and the feta is slightly bubbling. Remove from the oven and leave too cool for a maximum of 5 minutes.
Step 5
To serve, arrange the pastries on a serving platter. Top with ribbons of smoked salmon and extra sliced OEL olives. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and micro greens atop of each. Enjoy warm.
