Categories     200+ Easy Appetizers Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Cups Basil (packed)
3 Cloves Garlic
1/4 Cup Fisher Walnuts
1/4 Cup Olive oil Extra Virgin (plus 1 Tablespoon)
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese (plus 1 Tablespoon )
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
Salt to taste
2 Sheets Puff Pastry
1 Cup Grape Tomatoes (halved)
1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 Pinch Black Pepper Fresh Cracked

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the walnuts and garlic.
  • Toast for a few minutes or until golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally to toss the nuts and promote even color.
  • Once the nuts are done, remove them from the pan and continue to toast the garlic.
  • Remove it from the pan and remove the skin.
  • Wait until both are cooled.
  • Place the basil, nuts, garlic, and olive oil in a blender and pulse until smooth, but still a tad grainy in texture.
  • Place everything in a bowl and stir in the cheese.
  • Salt to taste and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and roll out the puff pastry sheets.
  • Using a biscuit cutter or large glass, cut the dough into circles.
  • Using a fork, poke holes all over the dough and gently press into a mini muffin tin.
  • Place in the oven for about 10 minutes, remove from the oven and using a small spoon or tart press, push the sides back out, making a well in each center. I often use my fingers and burn myself, but do it anyway. :)
  • Fill each cup with 1 teaspoon or so of prepared pesto.
  • Add a tomato to each cup, a sprinkle of cheese and place in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden and cheesy.
  • Remove from the oven and add a pinch of black pepper.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature.

  • If you are making your own pesto, you will need to put the garlic, a pinch of salt (which will help you to squash the garlic), and the basil leaves into either a pestle and mortar or a food processor. Grind or whizz it into a paste. Add the pine nuts and grind again – if you are using a pestle and mortar, you may need to take it in turns with friends or family to help you bash everything, to stop your arm from aching! Add the cheese and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a jug or bowl and gradually stir in the olive oil until you have a thick sauce that just drops off your spoon. Well done: you’ve just made pesto!
  • Turn the oven on to 200°c/fan180°c/gas 6. On a flour-dusted worktop, roll out the pastry (unless you are using a sheet) until it’s a few millimetres thick.
  • Using a saucer or big circular cutter that is 14cm across, cut 6 circles out of the pastry and rest on 2 baking trays in the fridge for 10 minutes. Once chilled, prick the middle of each pastry circle a few times with a fork.
  • Spoon 1 tbsp pesto onto the middle of each pastry circle and spread over evenly, leaving a small border of about 1cm around the edge. Tear or slice the mozzarella ball into 6 pieces and put 1 piece on top of each tart. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the pastry is golden and cooked.
