- Divide and place chopped walnuts in the center of the goat cheese, and then drizzle the top with honey; repeat for each pastry circle.
- In a small bowl, whisk together one egg with a teaspoon of warm water to create an egg wash; use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the outside border of the puff pastry.
