Ingredients

• 1/2 cup walnuts, crushed
• 4 frozen store-bought puff pastry shells
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 2 tablespoons aged balsamic (minimum 7 years aged)
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• One 7-ounce piece St. Andre cheese, rind removed and sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.

Increase the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the frozen pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, add the strawberries, balsamic and maple syrup. Mix.

While the pastries are still hot, stuff with the cheese, and then top with walnuts, strawberries and some pepper. Serve hot.
