These Mushroom French Goat Cheese Mini Empanadas are simple and delicious! Fancy yet no-fuss. They’re the perfect little appetizer for any celebration.
The holidays are around the corner, and if you are anything like me, I know that your To-Do List will be overloaded. So, I decided that it was time to start sharing easy finger foods, like these Mushroom Goat Cheese Mini Empanadas.
They look and sound super impressive, but I promise you, they’re simple to put together.
Bursting with flavorful mushrooms, onions, garlic, and French goat cheese, these Mini Empanadas makes a mouthwatering appetizer perfect for any celebration.
They’re salty, creamy, and crispy all in one bite. Absolutely delish!!
I’ve made MANY batches of empanadas in my life. In this case, I decided to incorporate a little extra flavor: French goat cheese. To be exact, President Palet de Chèvre, which, BTW, was an excellent idea on my part (sorry, I might be biased, but it was a GREAT idea).
It’s creamy, and unlike fresh goat cheese, is not tangy at all. It has a rich and mild flavor, and the rind is soft. Sooo good. I am totally addicted! The combo of ingredients I went with is straight-up magical. Total flavor and texture perfection.
Pass a big plate of these around at your next gathering and see them disappear in a flash.
