- ½ cup pepperjack cheese shredded
- Fresh parsley and herbs

- Using a round cookie cutter, cut circles of dough out of puff pastry and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Brush egg wash on each pastry circle then top each with a tomato slice in the direct center.
- Next add caramelized onions on top of each tomato slice and sprinkle shredded cheese.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes or until tarts are puffy and golden brown and cheese has turned golden and melty. Top with parsley and herbs if you would like. Cool for a few minutes then serve.
Notes
Use butter AND olive oil for the caramelized onions. The oil has a higher burning point so your onions won't burn and the butter adds additional flavor.
Use a round cookie cutter. They create uniform circles for each tart and make the job easier. It also helps with uniform baking. If you don't have a round cookie cutter, you can use the back of an empty can.
Don't skip the egg wash. The egg wash on the puff pastry will give a beautiful glossy and golden brown color once the tarts are baked. This is a crucial step.
Be sure to thaw out the puff pastry dough in advance. This will make working with it a bit easier.
Cut the puff pastry dough slighter larger than the tomato. You want the tomato to take up most of the surface but leave a bit of the pastry visible.
