Puff Pastry Pizza Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the puff pastry sheet on a piece of parchment paper, on a baking sheet. Poke it all over with a fork. This prevents large bubbles.
- Slice the tomatoes and place them on a paper towel. Sprinkle them all over with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to release some of the juices. After 5 minutes, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Spread the pesto on the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with the tomatoes. Top with the mozzarella pieces.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash. This is optional, but helps give that shiny, puff pastry crust.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with more pesto. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Top with fresh basil and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Slice and serve!
