I know technically these little bundles of deliciousness are called Beggar’s Purses but I made them for my mother’s Pixie-themed 60th birthday party (my mother loves fairies and anything to do with fairies), so Pixie Purses they are! Bacon + goat cheese? OMG. I’ve recently given up the bacon but I’d probably still snarffle down a few of these little babies. They were a hit with everyone that tried them and the only treat I made for my mother’s party that didn’t have any leftovers!<\/p>\n

You could make these suit your needs however you like! You could fill them with fake cheese and tempah or with mozza and chicken or or or…endless combinations really. They also look really snazzy but don’t require too much effort.<\/p>\n

Pixie Purses (aka Beggar’s Purses, aka Goat Cheese Phyllo Purses) via Confessions of a Foodie Bride<\/a>
\n5 oz goat cheese, softened
\n2 tablespoons chives, chopped
\nI also added a few tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley<\/i>
\n4 slices of bacon, cooked to a crisp
\nblack pepper
\n6 sheets of phyllo dough
\n6-8 tablespoons of melted butter
\nChives or strips of the tops of green onions for tying<\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 400 F and mash together your goat cheese, chives, parsley (if you’re using it) crumbled bacon, and black pepper.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The thing about phyllo is it pretty much always starts out the same. Lay a single piece on your counter, use a pastry brush to paint melted butter all over it, then add a second sheet and attack that with melted butter and again with a third piece. Then cut it into four equal pieces and put about 1 1\/2 to maybe 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the middle of each square. Then gather the phyllo around it like a little package and tie with your chive or strip of green onion.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

So cute!!! It’s looking pretty pale on the left! I brushed the tops of each one with a little butter and made a bunch more. I put all of them in a shallow dish and baked them for about 8 minutes. Check on them though!! If your oven runs hot they’ll be incinerated in a heartbeat! Let them cool for a bit so you don’t burn yourself with 400 degree goat cheese!<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
