Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Roll out the pastry dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut out small squares, about 3 inches per side.
3
Arrange a few cherry tomatoes on one half of each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a few leaves of fresh basil.
4
Fold the other half of the pastry square over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative border.
5
Brush the tops of the tarts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
