Easy Puff Pastry Pizza
This puff pastry pizza is my family’s favorite party appetizer. The recipe comes together very quickly and its totally customizable. The toppings we used are very Mediterranean. My advice is that you stay away from zucchini, mushrooms or tomatoes, as those are watery.
The method of thawing your puff pastry and then rolling it out a bit to elongate it as best you can. You also have to grab a fork and gently punch a bunch of holes into the puff pastry. At this point you will also score the exterior edge of the puff pastry rectangle, about 1/2 inch in from the edge. If you like this recipe you will love my Spanakopita Puff Pastry Swirls.
Try not to go too heavy on the sauce. Make this with any shredded cheese you prefer like gouda, cheddar, provolone, fontina cheeses. If you like this recipe you will love my Easy Tortilla Strip Pizza or my Low Carb Roasted Veggie Pizza.
