Step-by-Step Instructions

Ensure your puff pastry is completely thawed, then roll out each sheet to 1/16 inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut approximately 30 circles from the rolled puff pastry and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Assemble the Mini Tomato Tarts by placing pastry circles on the baking sheet, sprinkling with Gruyère, layering tomatoes, and seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the tarts for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
Let the tarts cool for a minute before serving warm or at room temperature.
