Easy Roasted Tomato and Puff Pastry Tartlets Recipe with Puff Pastry
So, let’s get into it.
These easy-to-make roasted tomato puff pastry tartlets are made with store bought puff pastry. It’s so delicious and can be used in an array of ways. Most importantly, it is a huge time saver in the kitchen. In no time, you can have delicious pastry treats for everyone to enjoy. Therefore, you should ALWAYS have a roll of puff pastry in the freezer.
I recommend serving these puff pastry tartlets with a great selection of condiments and jams, like these yummy nibbles from Food Ink Chef. Trust me, they are simply divine!
How To Make Roasted Tomato Tartlets for Entertaining
First off, make sure your roll of puff pastry is properly thawed by the time you are ready to start. Begin with the tomatoes and prep them for the oven. I like to roast them with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and rosemary before hand.
Use different kinds of cherry, rosa and vine tomatoes and allow these to slow-roast until reduced and sweet. Dust a clean surface with flour, roll out your puff pastry and cut into smallish squares.
Next, simply scoop a spoonful of roasted tomatoes in the centre and fold the sides up to create a parcel. Lastly, spread with egg wash and bake until golden and crispy.
TIP: you can spruce up your tartlets by combining caramelised onion, brie, fresh herbs or pesto with the roasted tomatoes.
The puff pastry world is your oyster!
