Pizza Puff Slice

This was a lovely, light meal. Perfect for a warm evening.


Prep Time -
20 mins

Cooking Time -
20 mins

Serves -
4


Get this:

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6-8 slices leg ham
1 red capsicum finely sliced
1 red onion finely sliced
1 cup mozzarella, grated
12 baby bocconcini

Do this:


Preheat oven to 200degC and line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Place pastry sheets on trays, pierce all over with a fork, then brush milk around the edges of the pastry.
(I didn't have a pastry brush so used rolled up baking paper & cut the end to form 'bristles'...clever, I know!)

Spread tomato paste over pastry sheets, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Cut ham into strips and arrange on top. Scatter over the capsicum and onion, then top with mozzarella and torn bocconcini. Fold the 1cm edge of pastry to form a lip and brush with milk.

Bake for 15-20mins until crisp and golden brown. Cut each into quarters to serve.


Serve with salad of rocket, cherry tomatoes, capsicum & more bocconcini drizzled with virgin olive oil.

TIPS
You could add olives and/or replace the bocconcini with crumbled fetta.
You could also top with roughly chopped parsley if you like it. I don't, so I didn't.
