Small puff pastry pies with goat cheese

Great tasting and very easy to prepare snack, which you could serve as either a small starter or as a snack together with drinks.

I used ready-to-use puff pastry dough, as I had some many more thing to prepare for my birthday lunch. So do, what it most easy for you making your own puff pastry dough or using ready-to-use dough.

As nuts I used pecan nuts as I could not locate any walnuts in my kitchen, while making this snack. So again use pecan, walnuts, hazel nuts, pine kernels and what ever you have in your kitchen cupboards.
