-
Thaw Puff Pastry:
Ensure the puff pastry is completely thawed according to the package instructions. This usually takes about 30 minutes at room temperature. -
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a muffin pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper. -
Prepare Pastry Squares:
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into small squares that will fit into the muffin cups. -
Assemble Tarts:
Gently press each pastry square into a muffin cup, forming a small pastry shell. Spoon approximately 1/2 teaspoon of tapenade into each shell, spreading it evenly along the bottom. -
Add Toppings:
Place two halves of cherry tomatoes on top of the tapenade in each pastry shell. Then, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the tomatoes. -
Bake:
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Garnish:
Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish each tart with a sprinkle of finely chopped oregano for a burst of fresh flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve these Provencal Tarts warm as an appetizer or alongside a crisp green salad for a light and satisfying meal. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the pastry is at its flakiest and the cheese is ooey-gooey delicious!
