Ingredients Add to grocery list

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17 1/2-ounce package), thawed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

These are so delicious!! But I agree with the review below....I also cook the puff pastry almost completely before adding the mozzerella and tomato because the first time I made them the other way, the pastry was soggy!

I use this recipe for nearly every appetizer party that I throw. I do cook the puffed pastry almost the full amount before adding the toppings instead of just 5 minutes. I also pat and salt the tomatoes to much that they are crazy dry or they absorb all the way through the puff pastry. I then add a little extra parmesan cheese and chopped basil to the top with some cracked pepper for decoration. But the overall recipe is a standout among other dishes and great for my vegetarian friends!
