Tomato and Bell Pepper Squares

It’s the freaking weekend folks!

Mom and dad are out of town which leaves me and Albert holding down the fort. You know what they say, when the cats away the mouse will play.

In this case, the cats are away and the mice will be taking care of the actual cats.

We are in charge of making sure the cats are still alive when the parental units return.

Two weeks away from twenty-six, I really hope I’m up for this challenge.

While I’m worried about the lives of two adorable kitties, I will make something that is a complete no brainer.

And that is delicious.

Just like these.

You will need…

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 small can tomato paste

2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup parmesan

Sat and pepper to taste

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large handful basil, you can also sub spinach

Start by combining the tomato paste, garlic and parmesan together in a small bowl.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat your oven per the pasty sheet cooking instructions.

Then, lay out your pasty sheet on a baking sheet.

Spread the tomato paste mixture liberally over the pastry sheet.

Evenly distribute the peppers, tomatoes and basil or spinach all over the pastry sheet.

Slice the pastry sheet into even slices and pop the baking sheet in the oven and cook to the pastry sheets specifics.

Remove from the oven, cool slightly and season with fresh pepper.

Serve warm.
