Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 package (16 oz) frozen pretzel dough, thawed
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fig jam
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
- Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whip together blue cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
- Roll out pretzel dough into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares.
- Place a small spoonful of the whipped blue cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold corners to the center, pinching to seal and form a bite-sized bundle.
- Arrange bundles on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
- Top each pretzel bite with a small dollop of fig jam and garnish with thyme if desired. Serve warm.
