Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the pesto

  • 2 cups basil packed
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water

For the tarts

  • 1 14-oz package frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup feta optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add all pesto ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Cut the thawed puff pastry into four equal squares. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a shallow border about half an inch from the edges of each square without cutting all the way through.
  • Spread a thin layer of pesto inside each border, then arrange the halved tomatoes on top, cut side down.
  • Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  • Sprinkle with feta, if using, and serve warm.
