These puff pastry squares are a super easy and yummy. 1 piece (a quater) is perfect as a starter and 2 pieces are enough to fill you up.

I used my brownie tin for these, which is a perfect size. Line the tin with some baking paper and place the puff pastry squares inside. Overlap them slightly at the edges and press together, I kept a bit of an upstanding edge at the sides of the tin.

Cut the courgette in 3′s and cut these into long not too thin slices. Pan-fry the slices until slightly colored and still have a bit of a bite, season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool. Slice the mushrooms and pan-fry until they’re nicely brown, I hate chewy slippery mushrooms. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper during pan frying. Leave to cool. Cut an onion so you have thin slices that stay together.

Cut out approximately 3″ diameter rounds, place rounds in a greased muffin tray. For the filling, dice up your mushrooms fairly small and fry these in some butter. Add galic powder, pepper and oregano to taste. Stir in Gorgonzola. I had some left over from my simple pasta. Melt gorgonzola through your mushroom mix until you have a creamy mixture. Pour this on top of your little puff pastry cups and bake in the oven at 190C/374C for about 15 minutes.

Lovely when eaten warm, the tops go lightly crispy on top and nicely gooey in the middle. Simple 2 bite snacks.

I just made these adorable little nibbles and they are fantastic. I just hope I can stay away from them until the BF comes home. This TFP post inspired me to make these.

With a round cutter, cut out small disks of puff pastry. If you don’t have a cutter just make squares with a knife. Place the disks in an oiled muffin tray, make sure there is a bit of an edge. Place little slices of brie on top. Mix about 1/4 of a tablespoon with 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey (doesn’t have to be precise). Drizzle the the brie with a bit of the honey mustard sauce and cook in the centre of the oven at about 190/200C -375F for 15 to 20 minutes.

Before eating put a little garden cress on top. I just had 3 for lunch, but they are so tiny and moreish!
