    Electric Skillet Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Triangles

    Jump to Recipe

    Puff pastry triangles are stuffed with a goat cheese and red bell pepper filling and baked in the electric skillet. With only a few ingredients, you can have this simple but delicious appetizer on the table in no time.

    I use fresh bell peppers in this recipe but if you want to elevate these cheesy triangles, my grilled bell peppers would also taste amazing!

    Whether you are making them at home or on a camping trip, they bring something a little more unique to the table in terms of what you can make in an electric frying pan. I also make these electric skillet nachos and electric skillet coconut shrimp that make for great appetizers as well.

    🥘Ingredients

    • olive oil - Regular olive oil works fine. No need to splurge on EVOO.
    • red bell pepper - You could switch it up with your favorite color bell pepper if you wanted.
    • puff pastry - You can find puff pastry in the frozen section. It comes in a box of sheets.
    • goat cheese - The goat cheese has a tangy, slightly earthy flavor that complements the flavor of the bell peppers and the texture of the flaky puff pastry.
    • egg - This is optional. When brushed on the pastry, it gives it a nice golden color and shine.

    *See ingredient amounts in recipe card.

    🍽Tools

    You will need a small baking rack (about 6" to 9" wide if using a 12" skillet) and a baking dish that fits in your electric skillet. If you don't have one yet, I have a post reviewing the best stainless steel electric skillets.

    🔪How to Make Them

    1. Heat electric skillet to 400ºF and add the olive oil.
    2. Sauté the peppers in the skillet for 2 minutes. Reserve.
    3. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares.
    4. Fill them with the peppers, goat cheese, salt and pepper on one diagonal half.
    5. Fold them over to make triangles, pressing the sides together as good as you can.
    6. Place them in a small baking dish or sheet that fits in your electric skillet. Brush them with the egg, using a pastry brush.
    7. Place a small baking rack in the skillet and place the baking dish on top, so that the baking dish doesn’t touch the bottom of the skillet. (Alternatively, you could place a few metal skewers on the bottom of the skillet and then place the baking sheet on top. This is helpful if you can’t fit the lid over the baking sheet.)
    8. Cook them with the lid securely on the skillet for 25 minutes. Turn them over and cook 10 more minutes - or until golden on both sides.
    9. Let cool for a few minutes and serve.

    🍴Serving Suggestions

    Make sure to let the triangles cool for a few minutes after baking as they will be quite hot inside. Then, arrange them on a nice serving dish/platter, add a few dip options and serve.

    This savory, electric skillet appetizer goes well with dips that are more so on the sweet side like sweet and sour, honey dill sauce, sweet chili sauce or even cranberry sauce.

    🌡️Storage

    Store leftover triangles in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days. You can also freeze them for a couple of weeks.

    They can be reheated in the electric frying pan, microwave or oven. If you reheat them in the microwave they will be soft, whereas the oven/pan will make them nice and crispy again!

      Is it possible to use aluminum foil in place of pan?

        Hi Mary Kay, I can't say for sure because I've never tried using foil myself in that way. Just remember to create space between the skillet itself and the pastries so that they don't burn on the bottom.
