These miniature tarts can be served as a side dish or even a light main course with a salad on the side.

Helpful Tips

  • Use fresh, firm tomatoes: Opt for smaller, firm tomatoes to avoid excess moisture that could make the pastry soggy.
  • Change up the cheese: Manchego is delicious here but if you can’t find it or don’t like it choose a harder cheese like aged gouda or parmesan.
  • Drain excess moisture: Blot the tomato slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before putting them on the tartlets. This will help keep the puff pastry crispy.

Servings 16 Pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry partially thawed
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup Manchego cheese grated
  • 4 small tomatoes sliced into 24 slices
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut 16 rounds using a 3" cookie cutter or similarly sized glass. 
  • Pierce the dough all around with a fork. Place them on the baking sheets. 
  • With the back of a small spoon, rub the mustard onto each round, then evenly sprinkle on the cheese, top with a tomato slice, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Turn the baking sheets once during cooking to help the pastry brown evenly. 
  • Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.

Notes

  • Opt for smaller, firm tomatoes like Roma or Campari.
  • Manchego is delicious here but if you can't find it or don't like it choose a harder cheese like aged gouda or parmesan.
  • Blot the tomato slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before putting them on the tartlets. This will help keep the puff pastry crispy.
