Ingredients
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 Tbsp pesto
- 1/2 C Parmesan cheese, grated and enough to sprinkle on top.
- Sliced Tomatoes - number will vary depending on the size of your tomatoes. Mine were small so I used about 6-7. If they are larger you may only need 2-3.
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 C mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, sliced
Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Place pastry on cookie sheet covered with parchment or a silpat.
Fold edges up to form a rim. Poke over the crust bottom with a fork.
Brush with beaten egg.
Spread with pesto.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Put on a cooling rack.
Place sliced tomatoes on several layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes and then blot with a towel to absorb moisture.
Sprinkle pastry with mozzarella cheese and place tomatoes on top, overlapping them.
Drizzle with olive oil and garlic.
Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
Bake for another 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature
