Superb Holiday Appetizer

Well I've been busy crocheting and knitting for various customers so pardon my delay in writing! 

I have a wonderful appetizer for you to share this holiday season!  Beef Wellington Bites (a recipe shared with me from my husband's friend at work) - and they are so delicious!  Putting them together can be a little tedious, but I promise you, after your first bite you will agree it was well worth the effort!  These are filling enough for two people.  My husband and I occasionally make these for our dinner.  Enjoy!


 
Beef Wellington Bites

2 sheets of Peppridge Farm's Puff Pastry
1 lb. filet mignon - cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Boursin Cheese - Garlic and Herb
1 egg - lightly beaten
Take out the puff pastry dough and roll it out onto lightly floured surface until it is about an 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut the dough into 2 inch squares. Take a cube of beef and place it in the center of the puff pastry, then take a 1/2 teaspoon of the Boursin cheese and place it on top. Fold up the corners and seal the pastry. Make all the Wellingtons and place on a cookie sheet. I recommend using a sheet of parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Once you have assembled all of them, take the egg - 10 minutes prior to putting them in the oven - brush the egg all over the Wellingtons.  Easily makes about 30 pieces, if not more!

Bake: 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes
