Description
Savory Tomato Tarts with Tajin are a delightful appetizer featuring a flaky puff pastry filled with seasoned cherry tomatoes and melted mozzarella cheese, topped with fresh basil.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Tajin seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, Tajin seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the tomatoes are well coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.
- Place each square of puff pastry into a muffin tin, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese at the bottom of each pastry cup.
- Spoon the seasoned tomato mixture evenly into each pastry cup, filling them generously.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the tomato mixture.
- You can also substitute the mozzarella with feta cheese for a tangy flavor.
