Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry approximately 8–9 oz

- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

- In a small bowl, whip the goat cheese with the Greek yogurt and lemon zest until smooth and spreadable.
- Unfold the puff pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Spread the whipped chèvre over the center, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Arrange the carrot ribbons over the cheese, folding and overlapping them for a slightly rustic appearance.
- Fold the pastry edges inward and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the carrots are tender.
- Drizzle lightly with honey and finish with a few fresh thyme leaves.
- Serve warm with a little arugula dressed in lemon and olive oil.Who knew a few carrots could feel so wonderfully French?
