Who Needs A Tomato

When it comes to tomatoes, there are a lot of options at the farmers markets right now...

but home grown is always best. 

Finding tomato recipes for these babies, means spending a lot of time on Pinterest and Google.

I could make sauce, my friend Liz suggested that, but we do not eat a lot of red sauce,

and I do not know how to can.

We have eaten a lot of BLT Sandwiches, Cucumber and Tomato Salads,

Tomato Sandwiches and Tomato Slices with salt.

They are so good this year, I have never grown better tasting tomatoes before now.

I found this recipe on Pinterest...

Pepperoni Basil Tomato Puffs

Using a tomato and basil from my garden, 

the ingredients are simple, 

the recipe calls for pepperoni, I omitted that.

Preheat oven to 360 degrees.

After cutting the puff pastry into 9 squares,

place them on to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

On each square, arrange a tomato slice, basil, salt, pepper

 

and parmesan cheese.

Fold to opposite corners to form little boats.

Mix egg yolk with water, and brush onto pastry.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes before baking in 360 degree oven

for 15 - 20 minutes,

until cheese is melted and pastry is puffed and golden.

Here are mine, they took 17 minutes and tasted delicious!!
