For the Tartlets
  • 1 sheet DuFour Puff Pastry any quality store-bought puff pastry works too
  • 4 medium Plum Tomatoes or mixed with heirloom, cherry, or grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Basil Pesto homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese freshly grated yields the best results
  • 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese or try feta or goat cheese for a different flavor twist
  • 1 large Egg mixed with water for egg wash; optional
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or Basil Oil for drizzling over tarts
  • 1 tsp Coarse Salt adjust to taste

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw the DuFour puff pastry sheet until soft, then cut it into 8 equal rectangles. Score a smaller rectangle ¼-inch from the edge and dock the center with a fork.
  3. Spread the basil pesto evenly within the scored edges of each puff pastry. Arrange the sliced plum tomatoes on top, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with coarse salt, then layer with grated Parmesan cheese and crumbled fresh mozzarella.
  4. Brush the outer edges of each pastry with the egg wash. Drizzle olive or basil oil over the tarts for added richness.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Allow the tartlets to cool slightly before serving. Top with extra Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
