Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, apprx 250 grams
  • 1 red pepper large, cleaned, seeded and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup black olives roughly chopped
  • 6 oz mozzarella fresh, roughly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. On a flat baking tray, put the peppers and drizzle over a little olive oil. Toss them around the pan until they are all evenly spread out. Bake for about 30 minutes or until peppers are soft and slightly scorched. It is very important not to leave them in the oven too long, or they will have a burn taste.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and in a medium sized bowl stir together the peppers, chopped olives, fresh basil and another drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
  • Roll out you pastry and cut into 16 mini squares. Place all the squares on a greased baking tray. Then on the top of each square place about a tablespoon of the mixture. Return to oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until you notice the pastry has puffed up and looks golden. Remove from oven and immediately place a slice of mozzarella on each square. Serve immediately
