Ingredients

1 Puff pastry sheet

17,63 oz Goat cheese

0,70 oz Fresh thyme

1,76 oz Pitted black olives

1,76 oz Anchovies

T.t. EVO oil

T.t. Salt

T.t. Black pepper

1 Egg Yolk

Procedure

We start spreading the puff pastry at will, on a cake pan or creating small
single portions. Once spread, place the slices of cheese on it, leaving a margin
for the edge. Then lay the olives and anchovies and garnish with fresh thyme.
Before putting in the oven season with a little oil, salt and pepper and brush
the edges with the egg yolk.

Chef’s tips

Prick the puff pastry before seasoning it so it will not swell during cooking.
It is better to prefer a hard or semi-hard goat cheese rather than a ricotta,
which could release too much whey during cooking.
