    Homemade fig & goat cheese turnovers made with just a handful of ingredients in under 30 minutes!

    three fig and goat cheese turnovers with goat cheese and fig in the background.

    The inspiration for these delicious turnovers came from these pastelitos de guayaba y queso. I love pairing fruit jams with cheese, it tastes so good when combined together. The flaky puff pastry dough is what makes these extra special. These fig & goat cheese turnovers are sweet, savory, and crispy! By the way, this is the easiest dessert recipe you’ll ever make.

    Ingredient Notes

    Puff Pastry – I used store-bought puff pastry but if you have a homemade recipe, feel free to make it from scratch! Puff pastry dough can be found in the frozen food section at your local supermarket.

    Fig Jam – Any fruit jam will work for this recipe!

    Goat Cheese – If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, use cream cheese or mascarpone cheese. Goat cheese although delicious, is very potent in flavor. If you’ve never tried it, I recommend tasting it before making these.

    Top Tips

    • Thaw the puff pastry for at least 40 minutes at room temperature.
    • Make sure to seal the edges tightly and cut 1 small slit in the top of each turnover so the steam can escape.
    • Allow the turnovers to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.
    • If you like desserts on the sweeter side, add more fig jam than goat cheese. If you like it a little more savory, add more goat cheese and less fig jam.

    Do I Eat These Hot Or Cold?

    I prefer these warm but honestly, they taste pretty good cold as well.

    What Can I Serve This With?

    You can serve these with a cup of tea or hot coffee for breakfast or dessert. Although I like to occasionally serve these as an appetizer when I entertain. I slice them into small pieces and people enjoy it with a glass of wine.
