Puff pastry is amazing on its own, but these cranberry goat cheese puff pastry rolls will make your taste buds tingle.
Nothing pairs better with savory goat cheese than something tart like cranberry sauce. This is a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce after the holiday season.

Although, you don't need to wait until after the holidays to make these cranberry goat cheese rolls because you will find the ingredients readily available at the grocery store.
This was inspired by a sweet dessert my mother usually makes around the holidays called calabrese pitta mpigliata. This dish is made with raisins and candied fruit and spread over a thin layer of sweet pasta.
Puff pastry appetizers like garlic puff pastry sticks or puff pastry pizza are also great conversation starters for social gatherings.

Instructions

Spoon about ½ tablespoon of goat cheese on the edge of the puff pastry until you have created 8 mounds of goat cheese evenly spread out between each other.
