Following the success of my chocolate and cheese twists, I decided to make some more traditional cheese, tomato and herb twists. They are really easy to make and are quite addictive to eat! They are great as party foods or a snack. Best eaten fresh from the oven but still tasted good the next day. The smell of the cheese and herbs are amazing. You can make so many different variations - bacon and cheese, bacon cheese & tomato, ham and cheese, tomato and basil ..... whatever you fancy!
If you live in the UK, Jus Rol pastry are offering a free Le Creuset stoneware dish with 4 tokens (1 pack = 1 token) plus p&p. A pretty good deal so I thought I'd share it with you (I have not been paid by them in any way, I just wanted to share the news in case you were interested) So this is my second roll of puff pastry, look out for at least 2 more recipes featuring puff or shortcrust pastry!
I am entering these to Herbs on Saturday hosted by Karen from Lavender and Lovage.
roll out a sheet of puff pastry. Brush beaten egg on one side, turn it over and spread tomato puree on top as shown. 
sprinkle liberally with grated cheese 
add dried herbs and a little bit of cracked black pepper 
slice into strips 
twist and bake according to the packet instructions 
enjoy! 
Brilliant idea for using puff - I always seem to have some lurking in the freezer but end up using it for the same old recipe. This will be something new, and they look yummy! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! What do you usually make with it?
DeleteGoat's cheese, roasted tomato and caramelised onion tarts (a barefoot contessa recipe). My usual dinner party starter as it's quick, easy and very forgiving! ;-)
DeleteYum! Can I please invite myself over? ;)
DeleteIf you're ever down my neck of the woods! :-)
DeleteMmm... savory is even better (in my opinion) and I wonder if I couldn't make these with a marinara sauce and fresh herbs (instead of a paste)... You've got me thinking ;)
ReplyDeleteooh sounds great! if you make your own puff pastry, it would be perfect for your made from scratch challenge :)
DeleteThis looks like it would be the perfect snack. My family would love them.
ReplyDeleteThey are great snacks but highly addictive!
DeleteWow. This looks like a terrific and tasty snack!
ReplyDeletethanks :)
DeleteMmm all of that melted cheese on buttery puff pastry! I love the sound of that! :D
ReplyDeleteme too :)
DeleteThese look quite quick to make, is that right? I'm thinking ahead to my bithday and wondering how in the space of one morning I can make a birthday cake and a ton of party food for people arriving that afternoon!
ReplyDeleteQuick and easy! Ooh what birthday cake are you making? If I can come I can make these for you! :)
DeleteThanks SO much for a WONDERFUL entry! These look just my cup of tea!
