Description

Easy last minute summer appetizer—if you keep puff pastry in your freezer! You can use different vegetables on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Frozen Puff Pastry
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 pinches Salt and Pepper
  • ¼ cups Chopped Herbs (Basil, Oregano)
  • 1 Tablespoon Good Quality Mustard
  • ⅓ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ⅓ cups Shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • ⅓ cups Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese

Preparation

Thaw the frozen puff pastry by either putting it in the fridge overnight or laying it out on the counter, wrapped, for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Meanwhile, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and toss in a bowl with some olive oil, salt, pepper and the chopped herbs.

Place a sheet of baking parchment (or a Silpat) on a baking pan.

Place the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured counter. Unfold the flaps. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the pastry and, with a rolling pin, just slightly roll the dough so the seams are not so prominent. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.

With a very sharp small knife, score the puff pastry all along the sides about 1/2 inch, to just make a small border. Inside the border, dock the pastry with a fork. Very thinly spread the mustard on the pastry. Sprinkle the cheeses on the mustard and top with the tomatoes (make sure the cut side of the tomatoes are all facing up so that their juice doesn’t make the pastry too soggy).

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until golden.

Tried this tonight and it’s so tasty! I didn’t have any fancy mustard so I just used French’s. I can imagine how a quality mustard will bring this up to absolutely delicious.

Following the comments on the Italian Dish blog, I placed the tomatoes cut-side-up and the crust wasn’t soggy at all. Husband and I devoured this for our supper.

I made this for a bbq, and it was really well-received. I used a pre-shredded blend of cheese instead, and perhaps a little more mustard. I cooked it until well golden, and let it cool slightly before cutting. I didn’t have a problem with it being soggy. A keeper recipe!

The only thing I left out was the gruyere since I didn’t have any on hand, and it ended up being kind of plain and soggy, even though I had the tomatoes cut-side up like you said. I might try this again with roasted tomatoes instead of fresh.
