Pesto Goats Cheese Puff Rolls

These goats cheese pastry rolls are simply perfect for canapés, but it could work equally as well as an elegant starter, just make the rolls bigger, just add some leafage.They aren't my lowest fat recipe by a long short, but for a treat and for entertaining, they are fantastic.They can be prepared in minutes, making cooking for a crowd less pressurised. They also keep well, and once refridgerated, they came be consumed the following day. They are just as delicious warm as they are cook, so the preference is yours.
