Thank you, Oregon Berries, for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.
Here in the South, warm weather means that it’s officially time for cookouts and tea parties! Each year, I host an outdoor brunch for my friends and family, and they always look forward to it!
They always rant and rave about the decorations, and especially the food! The menu is always simple, yet elegant with a delicious array of appetizers such as these Prosciutto Blackberry & Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Appetizers! Every time I make these appetizers, they’re always a big hit! And for some reason, everyone thinks that this easy recipe takes several hours to prepare, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
To help cut down on time, I used a pre-made puff pastry dough and frozen Oregon Blackberries. I often use Oregon Blackberries in my recipes because they are the perfect combination of sweet and juicy! These berries are picked at the peak of ripeness and are available frozen year-round.
Besides being super tasty, Oregon blackberries are extremely nutritious. They contain antioxidants that work to fight free radical damage in the body. They also contain a great source of Vitamin C.

How to Make Prosciutto Blackberry & Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Appetizers
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
To make the blackberry sauce, add 1 & ½ cups of thawed blackberries and 2 tablespoons of honey to a blender. Blend until smooth and transfer to a small bowl.
Next, toss arugula in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to a large rectangle, about double the original size. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into squares.
To make the bundles, spread about 1 tablespoon of the blackberry sauce in the middle of the square, followed by a small serving of arugula, a slice of prosciutto, and a serving of goat cheese.
Lift two opposite corners of the puff pastry squares and wrap them around the asparagus and press to seal. Brush puff pastry with egg wash. Bake until puff pastry is golden and puffed, about 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately. Use any remaining blackberry sauce for dipping & Enjoy!
