Description

Tomato Tartlets with a flaky puff pastry base and a fresh, creamy filling of ripe cherry tomatoes, plant-based cheese, and aromatic basil leaves. These easy-to-make tartlets are perfect for any occasion, combining vibrant flavors with a rich, plant-based goodness and a slight umami touch from vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Crispy, elegant, and versatile, they are delightful as snacks or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tartlet Base

  • Pre-made Puff Pastry sheet

For the Filling

  • 1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

To Finish

  • Extra virgin olive oil for brushing edges
  • Fresh basil or microgreens for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry Base: Unroll the pre-made puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out to smooth any creases. Cut into evenly sized squares to form the tartlet bases. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. Use a fork to prick the centers lightly to prevent excessive puffing.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, crumbled plant-based cheese, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder (natural), sea salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently fold in chopped fresh basil leaves. Add the natural gelling agent to bind the mixture slightly for easy spreading.
  3. Assemble the Tartlets: Spoon the tomato and cheese mixture evenly onto the puff pastry squares, leaving a small border around the edges to contain the juices while allowing the pastry to crisp.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the tartlets for 15 to 18 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling gently. Let cool slightly before serving to let flavors settle and filling set.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and optimal filling texture.
  • Choose ripe cherry tomatoes for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overfill tartlets to avoid soggy bottoms and messy serving.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their aroma and taste.
  • Brush tartlet edges with olive oil for a golden, crisp finish.
