Provencale Tarts-a really fast appetizer!

[SusanL]

We were at a college graduation yesterday and had NO time to make an appetizer for a party last night. So I made these Provencale Tarts in a few minutes-they were devoured in less than 5 minutes and I tripled the recipe! Hope you enjoy- I wonder if they can be frozen, probably not?
Provencale Tarts
1 sheet puff pastry
1/3 c purchased tapenade- I used a prepared olive spread and added chopped kalamato olives
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
4 oz. crumbled feta cheese
fresh herb sprigs-(optional)I didn't have any

Cut puff pastry into 16 squares. (I Pammed the muffin cups, but it didn't say that in the recipe.)Place each square into a 2 1/2" muffin pan cup. Place about 1 t of tapenade in each square. Top with 2 cherry tomato pieces and some feta cheese. Bake 425 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove and serve with fresh herbs sprigs if desired.

Thanks for sharing SusanL. I'm always a fan of those easy appetizers. Funny, I too was making a puff pastry appetizer using tapenade last night! I'm going to add your recipe to my list - sounds yummy!

The puff pastry things (palmiers, as Martha calls them) I made can be frozen if you bake them first. I'm not sure how the tomatoes in your recipe would hold up, but the rest, I think, would do just fine.
