How to Make Cranberry Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Appetizers
This easy holiday appetizer is one of my favorites because of its simple ingredients and quick prep time. Here is what you need:

Tips for Making and Assembling Goat Cheese and Cranberry Appetizers
This recipe is super easy to make but there are a few tips that will help you to make this holiday goat cheese appetizer even easier:
Grease the muffin tin: The puff pastry tends to stick so you want to use caution when preparing your muffin tin. Spray your muffin tin VERY well or use sprayed muffin tin liners.
How to cut a goat cheese log: Use dental floss to cut your cranberry goat cheese log. This will help you to make even, clean slices.
Assembly tips: Assemble the appetizers either in or out of the muffin tin. I assembled my appetizers in the pan but you may also choose to assemble them outside of the pan and place them in once assembled.
Use up the extra cranberries: When you slice the cranberry goat cheese log, some of the cranberries may fall off. I topped my wrapped puff pastry with the extra cranberries.
Serving your puff pastry appetizers: These appetizers can be served hot from the oven or at room temperature. I’ve found both to be incredibly delicious!
