Plum & Goat Cheese Tarts

CASE: What to serve with Chicken Riesling?

1 package puff pastry
4 plums, cored and chopped
handful of grapes, chopped
crumbled goat cheese
grated parmesan cheese
walnuts
fresh thyme
salt
butter
pepper

Thaw pastry according to directions. Sautee plums and grapes in jam, sugar, little balsamic vinegar and butter. Press pastry into muffin tins, after generously buttering pan. Place fruit (keep juices out, it'll get too soggy. Reserve the juices and boil down if you want a drizzled sauce on top) in pastry. Chop the walnuts with the thyme very finely. Sprinkle goat cheese and parmesan cheese and finally, the walnut-thyme mixture. Add pepper. Bake at 400 till everything is cooked!

VERDICT: GUILTY OF BEING DELICIOUS. These tasted super savory--not sweet. Perfect appetizers. People raved about them.
