Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry dough
  • 1 pc egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes washed and sliced in half
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and the basil into strips.
  • Unroll the pastry sheets and cut each into 9 equal squares. Arrange them on a prepared baking sheet.
  • Use a butter knife to score a smaller square just away from the edge of each cut square. Use a fork to prick the smaller square a few times.

  • Add the tomatoes to a medium bowl, along with the olive oil and salt/pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese in the center of each pastry square, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and top with 3-4 tomato halves, cut side up.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, and bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and top with a few strips of shredded basil to serve.
