Maria’s Pesto and Goatherd’s Cheese Tartlet
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 (400 g) package ready-made puff pastry
  • (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 (200 ml) jar of pesto
  • 1 (300 gm) container cherry tomatoes,
  • each cut into 3 slices
  • 8 oz goat cheese
  • kosher salt and cracked black pepper
  • Fresh basil sprigs, to garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface. Working with half of your pastry at a time, roll out into a rectangle about 1/8” thick (they really puff up). Place on two parchment or silpat lined cookie sheets.
  3. Spoon a bit of pesto on each round, leaving space near the edges. Lay 3-4 slices of tomato on top. Dot with goat cheese.
  4. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until puff pastry has risen and turned golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  5. Serve garnished with basil springs and leaves.
