Savory Puff Pastry Tartlets #87

Sorry gang, I should have put up the recipe for the savory tartlets with the earlier post but here it is!

• 1 package frozen puff pastry dough semi-thawed (still slightly frozen)
• flour for dusting your work surface
• pesto or tomato sauce
• cheese (I used asiago)
• toppings (I used thinly sliced proscuitto, sundried tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, sliced sweet peppers)
• fresh herbs to top the tartlets with after cooked (I used thyme and basil)

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.  On a lightly floured surface lay out your puff pastry sheet.  It should still be slightly frozen which makes it easier to cut and handle.  Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter (mine was about 3 inches in diameter) and lay on a cookie sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper.  Use a fork to dock (make holes) in the dough.  Brush the surface with pesto or tomato sauce and sprinkle with cheese.  Add on toppings and then bake for about 12-15 minutes until it is golden brown.  Cool completely before packing.

Voila!  Wasn’t that easy?
