Ingredients

1 roll puff pastry
8 slices cheese (firm mozzarella, gruyere, fontina)
20 tomatoes (cherry or grape tomatoes)
¼-½ teaspoon oregano
2-3 pinches salt
4-5 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375F / 190C (my oven is quite hot if you prefer you can heat it to 400F/200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the tomatoes in half.
Unroll the puff pastry and with a rolling pin gently roll a couple of times to even it out. Depending on how big the sheet is cut into 8 squares. With a fork, prick each square a few times.
Place each square on the prepared baking sheet. Top each square with cheese, sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, oregano and chopped basil. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Or until golden. Serve warm or room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

These puff pastry Caprese appetizers are meant to be served immediately and taste best hot, warm or freshly made at room temperature. If you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container but they may become soggy. They will keep for approximately 2 days in the fridge.
