Equipment

  • large sheet pan (18x26)
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
 

  • 1 10x15 inch sheet of puff pastry
  • 3 tbsp pesto
  • 3/4 cup whole ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 3 tbsp shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Garnishes

  • balsamic glaze
  • fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place puff pastry on parchment paper on sheet pan. Cut an interior square in the puff pastry to create a divide between filling and crust.
  • Spread pesto on interior square of puff pastry. Add ricotta cheese in large rustic scoops, and lightly spread it out. Press halved cherry tomatoes into the ricotta. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over ricotta and halved tomatoes. Brush exterior crust with olive oil.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven, and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, or until safe to cut and serve.
  • Garnish with balsamic glaze and fresh basil. Enjoy!
