Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 0.25 cup Diced bell peppers (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to slightly thin them out.
Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the puff pastry sheets and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Use the back of a spoon to gently press down in the center of each puff pastry circle to create a shallow indent—be careful not to punch through the dough.
Add about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce into the indent of each pastry circle.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, being careful not to overfill.
Top the tarts with your desired additional toppings, such as pepperoni slices or diced bell peppers.
Sprinkle a small pinch of grated Parmesan cheese and a dash of dried oregano and basil on each tart for added flavor.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry circles with the beaten egg to help them turn golden and shiny during baking.
Bake the pizza tarts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
