Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets 9 X 9 puff pastry (1 box Pepperide Farm 17.3 Box)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmigiana reggiano cheese
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons minced fresh basil plus whole leaves for garnish
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes halved, (or favorite tomatoes) may adjust amount to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Place puff pastry on a cutting board and slice each sheet into 6 even individual pieces. Roughly a quarter inch from the edge, use a knife to create a rectangle inside each piece.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, parmigiana-reggiano, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and minced basil.
  • Make your egg wash by whisking an egg in a small bowl and brushing the edges of the pastry.
  • Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet 1 inch apart. Scoop roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese mixture onto each pastry and spread evenly.
  • Place 4-5 halved or sliced tomatoes on each pastry. You can adjust the amount or type of tomato to taste.
  • Bake for 10 -15 minutes or until the pastries are golden, turning your baking sheet at 8 minutes for even baking. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • Garnish with additional minced basil and shredded Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
