The Best Yummy Tomato Tart Appetizer

Carol Food

If you like having friends over, I’ve got a real winner for snacks and appetizers.  Tomato tarts made with puff pastry are satisfying finger food.  Start with a handful of cherry or grape tomatoes, cream cheese and puff pastry.  Bake and serve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wanting a great edge, I rolled out my puff pastry and cut into rectangles with a pastry crimper, but you can choose the simpler method.  Roll out the pastry dough thin, place on parchment paper, spread with cream cheese, add onions and herbs, and bake.  Then cut it with sharp knife or pizza cutter.

If you do not like the hot pepper I’ve included, you may substitute a sweet pepper. The recipe provides 4 servings as an appetizer.
