Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Roll out the puff pastry and transfer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut 9 squares (approx. 3-inch/8cm)
2. On each square, arrange a tomato slice, topped with 2 pepperoni slices, parmesan, salt, pepper and chopped basil. Fold to opposite corners of each squares to form little boats.
3. Brush each pastry with the egg yolk, then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before baking in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and pastries are puffed and golden. Serve immediately, enjoy!
Note: Make sure the puff pastry is cold when it goes into the oven. The recipe doubles easily, check our puff pastry recipe because it allows you prepare 2 batches.

These were easy to make and my family raved about them!! We used tomatoes from our garden. Thank you so much for sharing!
This was a success with children and adults. My son-in-law is going to make this on his nights to cook.
