½ teaspoon black pepper

3 Tbsp fresh basil + more whole for garnish

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ pound mini tomatoes halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

 Flaky sea salt to finish

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, line the sheet with parchment

Slice puff pastry into 9 even pieces

Slice smaller rectangle inside each piece and prick the center.

Mix ricotta, parmigiano, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, and oregano

Whisk egg for egg wash after assembly

Place puff pastry rectangles 1 inch apart, spread 1 ½ Tbsp of mixture in the middle, add sliced tomatoes, brush tomatoes with olive oil, and brush edges of pastry with egg wash

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, turn the sheet halfway, top with fresh basil

    After cutting the smaller rectangle, do you pinch the edges up or do they raise up around the cuts?
