Wild Mushroom and Goat Cheese Pithivier
We had some friends over for “small plates” on Saturday. It is always fun to try new dishes and small plates is the best way to make a new idea into a reality. Although this recipe seems complicated it is really simple. Basically you are making a mushroom ragu, adding goat cheese and putting it all into a store-bought puff pastry envelope.
This a an impressive appetizer and we used the leftovers for a Sunday brunch topped off with poached eggs. It is also the perfect dish to take along to a friend’s house for that special occasion when you are bringing an appetizer.
