Bruschetta Turnovers
These turnovers are a variation of traditional Italian bruschetta. Traditional bruschetta is made by rubbing toasted bread with olive oil and garlic.
NO DEFROSTING NEEDED!
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4–5
- 1 (17-ounce) box frozen puff pastry
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- 4–6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- ¼–½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Freezing Day
Defrost puff pastry on the counter for about 30 minutes.
Spread puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll it out a few times to flatten folds in pastry. Use a 3″ diameter circle and cut out 9 circles.
On half of each pastry circle put garlic, tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Fold over half of each circle (making a half moon shape) and seal edges by pressing down.
Place on baking sheet and flash freeze. Transfer to freezer bag.
Reheating Instructions
Place frozen pastries on baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Brush each turnover with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven for 10–15 additional minutes until pastry turns a golden brown.
