Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Unfold puff pastry sheet onto lightly floured surface; roll out to 12-inch square. Crimp edges; place on prepared baking sheet.
  2. Spread pesto evenly over puff pastry. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese; add tomato slices in a single layer. Finish by topping evenly with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  3. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if desired. Cut into 16 pieces. Serve immediately.

Cook's Tip

Fresh basil adds another layer of taste, plus taste-tempting aromatics. Wow guests with this simple yet upscale appetizer. For variation, use Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano in place of whole tomatoes. Or, Hunt's® Petite Diced Tomatoes may be used--requires no slicing or dicing! Find great prepared pesto in your grocer's refrigerated section.
