Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 2 cups blackberries
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup sugar
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 2 lemons (zest)
- 4 teaspoons raw sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (minced)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- To make the blackberry jam, combine blackberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until thickened; mash the berries as you cook.
- Thaw puff pastry sheets for about 20-25 minutes, then roll each into a rectangle. Spread half of the cooled blackberry jam on one sheet and crumble half of the goat cheese on top.
- Cut the dough into strips, fold them over to enclose the filling, then twist gently to form spirals.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar, lemon zest, and thyme.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown and allow to cool before serving.
