pesto puff pastry snacks

These little guys are ideal for an appetizer or any-time snack or, as seen here, paired with a side salad for a light lunch.

Ingredients:

- Puff pastry

- Pesto

- Cherry tomatoes (halved)

- Feta (cubed)

- Cheddar (grated)

Method:

- Defrost and roll out some puff pastry with a rolling pin.

- Choose a cookie cutter and cut out rounds in the puff pastry (I used the lid of a jar of instant coffee to do this).

- Place the rounds onto a greased baking tray.

- Take a butter knife and cut an inner circle into each pastry round (try not to cut all the way through to the baking tray though).

- On the inside of the circle liberally smear some basil pesto.

- On top of that layer some halved cherry tomatoes.

- On top of that layer a chunk or two of feta cheese.

- On top of that layer some grated cheddar.

 

Place in the oven at 180 degrees celsius until the outer crust of pastry is golden brown.
