Juicy beef mixed with caramelized mushrooms, onions and delicate blue cheese wrapped in delicious braided flaky puff pastry- all this is beef blue cheese braided puff pastry!
All these holidays and Christmas trees, early shopping and ice rinks(we have one 20 minutes away!) can be overwhelming . Planning, menus, guests... you name it!
How about getting a break and treat yourself with some quick savory deliciousness? Taking just 30 minutes to make, this beef blue cheese braided puff pastry will comfort you in the best way.
The best time to eat a piece of braid is when its still warm, but the best time to slice is when already chilled. You decide! I sliced it when it was still warm and crumbly, but the best flavor is truly right out of the oven !

Oh this is so many of my favorites in one dish! I would have a hard time not eating the whole thing before guests arrive
This is beautiful! I know my holiday guests would love this!
This looks so incredibly mouthwatering! I love bleu cheese and this looks like an awesome warm dish to make on a cold night!
Blue cheese is such a great cheese! It will work wonderfully with the beef and the puff pastry! Yummy appetizer!
i love anything in puff pastry..and your version with beef and blue cheese sounds scrumptious!
I was raised on meat filled pastry (empanadas) in Panamá and none ever looked as good as yours!
The filing in these sounds so tasty! If you want to try a Latin style meat pastry check out my mini-empanadas here: http://ethnicspoon.com/empanadas-savory-turnovers/
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Love your mini empanadas!
I agree with Jessica, this looks great. I want to eat this.
Ohh my heart just stood still for a second. Your braided puff pastry with beef blue cheese reminds me of something my mum would make once in a while and I used to love it. She actually stopped making this and I forgot about it too over the many years. Thanks for the great reminder!
This looks so fabulous and easy that I'm surprised I've never thought to make anything like it! I can just imagine how it tastes especially with the blue cheese!! Holy moly, this is definitely going on my to-do list this Christmas morning!! Beautiful photos and awesome recipe!
This looks SO SO delicious! Cannot wait to try! Thanks for sharing!
thank you Jessica!
