Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
1 sheet of puff pastry (preferably an all butter pastry); thawed
1 1/4 cup pimento cheese (I used this one)
2 medium-sized heirloom tomatoes; each one sliced into 4 slices
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
Optional: thyme
Method:
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay your puff pastry out on your baking sheet. Slice it into 8 equal rectangles.
Take a sharp knife and lightly score a 1/4 inch border around the edges of each tartlet. Poke holes inside the border of the tartlet with a fork.
Evenly spread 2-3 tbsp of pimento cheese within the border of each tartlet.
Place 1 tomato slice on top of the pimento cheese. Season each tomato with a little bit of salt and pepper. Drizzle on a little olive oil on top as well.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally sprinkle each tartlet with a little bit of thyme. Serve and enjoy!
