Puff Pastry w/ Goat Cheese & Dates

I am a big fan of puff pastry, because you can really do all kinds of things with it. Use it as a base for delicious sweet and savory dishes which you can put on the table in no time! For this recipe I used creamy goat cheese, flakey puff pastry and in combination with the sweetness of the dates you get a nice contrasting flavour. Put this easy snack on the table soon and thank me later!
This puff pastry snack is easy to make and perfect for your cheese platter!
