No comments
These tarts are so easy to make as they use ready-rolled puff pastry. They're best eaten whilst warm - a few minutes after they come out of the oven.
 

Ingredients

  • 1 x 375g (13oz) ready-rolled puff pastry sheet, defrosted if frozen
  • 2 tbsp red or green pesto sauce
  • 75g (3oz) Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 9 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Beaten egg or milk, to glaze
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • Basil leaves and shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano, to garnish
Serves: 6       whats this
 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to / fan oven / Gas Mark Lightly grease a large baking sheet
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut into six equal rectangles. Using a sharp knife, score a border within each pastry rectangle about two cm (inch) from the edge, being careful to avoid cutting right through the pastry. Place on the baking sheet
  3. Spread the inner rectangle of each piece of pastry with a little pesto sauce, and then sprinkle the cheese on top. Share the tomatoes between the tarts, then season with salt and pepper to taste
