When you’re wanting something elegant yet easy to make, these Tomato Manchego Tartlets are a guaranteed hit. Flaky, golden puff pastry topped with tangy tomatoes and nutty Manchego cheese creates a perfect balance of flavors. They make the perfect New Year’s Eve appetizer.

The buttery puff pastry, the umami-rich cheese, and the sweet-tangy tomatoes come together in a dish that’s both rustic and refined.
Helpful Tips
- Pat the tomatoes dry: If your tomatoes are particularly juicy, blot them with a paper towel before layering to prevent soggy pastry.
- Cheese alternatives: If you can’t find Manchego, aged Gouda or Parmesan are excellent substitutes.
- Get creative: Add a swipe of pesto, a sprinkle of chili flakes, or even a few slices of caramelized onion for extra depth.

Tomato Manchego Tartlets
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry partially thawed
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup (85 g) Manchego cheese grated
- 4 small tomatoes sliced into 24 slices
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut 24 rounds using a 3″ cookie cutter or similarly sized glass.
- Pierce the dough all around with a fork. Place them on the baking sheets.
- With the back of a small spoon, rub the mustard onto each round, then evenly sprinkle on the cheese, top with a tomato slice, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Turn the baking sheets once during cooking to help the pastry brown evenly.
- Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.
