Puff pastry appetizers with cheese, bacon, and basil. A tasty snack that is great to serve at a party. You can prepare it well in advance and then you'll only have to bake it when the time comes.
Who doesn't like Camembert? And for this Sunday I've made a nice puff pastry appetizer with this cheese. And you can eat it as finger food. A snack with a great flavor.
- Instead of Camembert, you can use Brie instead.
- Instead of pine nuts and chopped basil you can smear pesto on the pastry. Try this recipe for homemade pesto.
