Préparation
Cut the puff pastry
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface, then cut out circles using a round cookie cutter, slightly larger than the diameter of the goat cheese log. This regular cutting allows for well-formed mini truffle pastries, with even cooking and an elegant presentation.
Brush the bites before baking
Mix the egg yolk with a teaspoon of cold water, then gently brush each circle of pastry with a pastry brush. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately. This egg wash gives a shiny and appetizing color while promoting the development of a crispy and light puff pastry.
Bake the mini pastries in the oven
Bake the pastry circles for about 10 minutes, until they are well puffed and nicely golden. Keep an eye on the baking, as the mini pastries should remain delicate and airy. Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then gently open them halfway with the tip of a fine knife to form a base and a lid.
Fill with goat cheese and summer truffle
Place a small spoonful of summer truffle vegetable delight on the bottom part of each pastry. Then cut thin slices of fresh goat cheese with a sharp knife, ideally rinsed under hot water for a clean cut. Place a slice of cheese on the truffle filling, then add a twist of pepper and a few thyme leaves.
Close and serve the pastries
Gently replace the golden lid on each bite, without pressing too hard to preserve the puff pastry's volume. Serve the mini goat cheese truffle pastries warm to enjoy the contrast between the crispy pastry, melting cheese, and the delicate aroma of summer truffle. They can also be prepared in advance and briefly reheated before serving.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
To achieve crispy puff pastries, always bake the dough in a perfectly preheated oven: the heat shock helps the puff pastry to rise quickly. Goat cheese pairs very well with truffle, provided you choose a fresh and mild goat cheese that respects the delicate aroma of summer truffle. To prepare the mini puff pastries in advance, bake the puff pastry bases and then fill them just before serving. Reheat them for a few minutes in the oven to regain a light and golden texture.
