Tiny Tomato Tart Tips
Do I Have to Make My Own Puff Pastry?
Psst, I have a secret for you: I never… and I mean, NEVER, make my own puff pastry.
Puff pastry can be incredibly time consuming to make – and here at Easy Recipe Depot, we’re all about quick and simple meals, appetizers, snacks and desserts. Make your life easier by purchasing ready-made puff pastry. This way you can focus on the actual recipe itself!
Be Sure to Defrost the Puff Pastry
Most ready-made puff pastry is sold in the freezer aisle of the grocery store. If you buy frozen, then be sure to follow the package’s directions to defrost because you will need the puff pastry to be completely defrosted before making this recipe.
Cut the Puff Pastry into Squares
When you’re cutting the puff pastry into squares, you can either use a paring knife or kitchen scissors. Again, be sure that the puff pastry is completely defrosted so that you can work with it easily.
Can I Store Leftovers?
In my personal opinion, puff pastry is one of those food items that is best enjoyed when it’s freshly baked. These tiny tomato tarts won’t last long in your household (they’re THAT delicious!) but if you do find yourself with leftovers, wrap in plastic and store it in an airtight container. You can refrigerate it for 1 to 2 days and reheat in a 350 degree oven to warm it up.
