Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Filling
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped black olives
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
Instructions
- Prepare Pastry Rounds: Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 evenly sized rounds using a cookie cutter or a knife and arrange these rounds spaced evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add Toppings: Spoon the ricotta cheese evenly over each pastry round, then sprinkle the chopped black olives and rinsed capers on top for a burst of savory flavor.
- Bake Tartlets: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the pastry turns golden brown and crisp, ensuring a perfect flaky texture.
Notes
- You can substitute feta cheese for a saltier flavor.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano on top for added aroma.
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold for best results.
- Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
