Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
- 32 pieces of pepperoni
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- dried oregano
- hot honey (see recipe notes below on how to make your own hot honey)
- optional: other pizza toppings like sliced jalapeno, sliced mushrooms, diced bell peppers or diced red onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the defrosted puff pastry sheet to approximately a 10x10 square. Cut into 16 squares using a pizza slicer or sharp knife (about 2.5 inch squares).
- Lay the pastry squares on the parchment paper lined baking sheet and poke around the middle of each piece of puff pastry a few times with a fork.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of sauce in the centre of each puff pastry square leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge. Add 1 pepperoni on top of the sauce, followed by 1 heaping tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 more piece of pepperoni. Then you can add a sprinkle of other toppings if you desire (for example 1-2 slices jalapeno or mushrooms or diced peppers or diced red onions).
- Whisk the egg and then use a pastry brush to brush around the edges of each pizza tart. Sprinkle dried oregano around the edges of each tart.
- Bake the tarts for 14-18 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed up around the edges and the cheese is melted. Serve warm with a drizzle of hot honey on the pizza puff pastry tarts.
Notes
- While you can find hot honey at the grocery store, you can also make your own! Make your own hot honey by mixing together 1/4 cup liquid honey, 1 tsp hot sauce and 1/2 tsp chili flakes (or red pepper flakes).
- If you don't have hot honey (or prefer not to use it) you can top the pizza puff pastry tarts with chili flakes or red pepper flakes before serving.
