Cheesy Tomato Tarts
Servings: 24 servings
A quick and cheesy appetizer! Our Cheesy Tomato Tarts combine Dei Fratelli Petite Diced Tomatoes with refrigerated pie crust, basil, and 3 different kinds of cheeses for a tasty and delicious bite-sized snack, similar to cheese crisps!
Ingredients:
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can Dei Fratelli Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained and patted dry
- 1 roll Refrigerated Pie Crust
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Basil, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Unroll pie crust and cut into circles, about 24, using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Press the circles into ungreased miniature muffin cups, making sure to press into the sides to form a cup.
- Poke the bottoms of the dough with a fork. Bake for 5 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- While the dough is cooling, reduce the oven heat to 350 F.
- In a small bowl, combine Dei Fratelli Petite Diced Tomatoes and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a second small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese together.
- Divide the tomato mixture evenly among the pastry shells, then top each one with the cheese mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.
