Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry
- 4 tbsp Pesto
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Egg white (coconut oil or plant-based milk vegan alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature of your pastry puff's requirements.
- Lay your puff pastry sheet flat and cut into 4 equal pieces. If you are using a puff pastry block of dough, allow it to thaw as indicated on the package and then roll it out to their specification. Mine allowed for a 12-inch square.
- Pierce the center of each square with your fork in multiple spots.
- Put roughly one tablespoon of pesto in the center and spread it out in the center area
- Place your cherry tomatoes on top of the pesto
- Fold the edges to make roughly a 1 cm edge. You can press gently down if the edges are not staying folded.
- Brush your beaten egg whites onto the crust (optional step but will give a nice touch)
- Bake as directed on your pastry package. If using the Tenderflake brand, it's 15-20 minutes until golden.
