On Friday I will be having a few people in for drinks and appetizers as Shane has his own debs ball that evening. I spotted these amazing mediterranean hors d'oeuvres online and was dying to try them out. So I gave it a go last night and here is my version which turned out to be very simple to make...
First I lined a muffin tin with circles of rolled out puff pastry.Just cut to size and mould them in to make a little nest. I filled 12 just to try them out...
Next I made two fillings which were, Pesto and mozzarella cheese and bacon,onion and slow roasted tomatoes.
For the pesto filling I just used a lovely jar of readymade pesto I had bought and never tried, filled the cases with a tsp and sliced mozzarella cheese over the top.
For the second filling I diced bacon rashers and fried with a chopped onion on a pan.I roasted baby tomatoes in the oven with olive oil for 15mins.Then added these to the bacon and onion mix before filling the cases...
Bake in a hot oven 200c for about 15 mins until pastry is puffy and golden brown.
I'm delighted with the result, as I really just threw caution to the wind and used ingredients that I had in the house already!! I think I ate about three ... ( I'm not saying for sure!) when they emerged from the oven :) I plan on making a fresh batch Friday morning and think they'd be lovely served with a bottle of chilled cava!
A great little appetizer for all the party nights ahead!!
What a fabulous and simple easy tasty idea! I am so stealing this!
