Boursin Leek Bites
By: Elise Jesse
Yield: 18
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
-2 tablespoons butter
-1 package herb Boursin
-2 leeks, diced (white and light green parts only)
3 garlic cloves, minced
-1/2 white onion, diced
-1/2 cup chicken broth
-1/4 cup heavy cream
-2-3 ounces of Parmesan cheese
-1 tablespoon fresh thyme (plus more to top)
-1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (I used GF)
-Salt and pepper, to taste
-1 sheet of puff pastry, divided into 12
-1 egg beaten + tsp water (egg wash)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Dice your leaks, onion, and garlic and set aside.
In a large pan, add leeks, onion, and butter, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in thyme, garlic, and sprinkle flour over the leeks.
Gradually add chicken stock while stirring. Add cream and Boursin cheese and continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
While the sauce thickens, roll out the puff pastry and cut into 12 pieces, and place each one into the muffin cups.
Brush the top with egg wash
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the pastry looks mostly baked.
Take the muffin pan out of the oven and spoon each pastry cup with the Boursin leek mixture, sprinkle Parmesan over top, and place back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
Cool slightly before serving
