Smoked Salmon & Goat Cheese Puffs

Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Puffs are a fantastic little appetizers with a light and flakey piece of puff pastry topped with a creamy smoked salmon, goat cheese and lemon spread. They make a convenient appetizer because you can bake off the puff pastry and mix together the salmon mixture well in advance and quickly assemble them at the last minute by piping the salmon mixture on the puff pastry and you are ready to serve!

I hate when you have to slave away on a meal or appetizers for hours right before a party and then you don’t have a chance to even get ready for the party or socialize with your guests. Your guests would much rather have a social host and these little smoked salmon and goat cheese puffs are a great solution. Your guests will think you slaved away over them with the flakey puff pastry that will melt in your mouth an the sophisticated smoked salmon spread. What more could you want?!
