Nika's Culinaria is a gorgeous blog dedicated to culinary photography. She experiments with zoom, light, focus and, of course, delectable goodies. Since there are so many sweets around this time of year, the savory but oh-so-sweet looking Basil, Lime, Brie and Puff Pastry appetizers really caught my eye. I love the layering, the coloring and the way she managed to capture the flakiness of the puff pastry. I'm not biased in any way because I own the same plate that she used to stage the photo. No recipe is needed to recreate these simple, savory snacks, but I can still only imagine the delicious blend of the flavors until I have an opportunity to try these out at my next party.

Nicole,

Wow, thank you for your very generous compliments! Like you said, these are super easy. Just cut triangles from pastry dough and bake (450) till golden. Let them cool and then take a sharp knife and split the triangles so that about the same amount is on each half. Be gentle as these can crumble. I use an exacto knife (but thats just me :-) to start the split and then they should begin to separate. Add your favorite fillings!

The mouth feel is nice. Buttery delicate crumbles, tangy brie, aromatic basil, tart lime.

Make sure you dont make the triangles too big so that you can put the whole thing in your mouth at once and not get pastry bits everywhere!
