I love to create recipes with simple ingredients, and most of the time I try to work with what we have. So, for the holiday season, we stocked up on frozen puff pastry. Now we have so much in the freezer that are short dated and have to use up. So, I have been trying to create simple and easy recipes from all the puff pastry. For this particular recipe, I used a basil pesto base and added my favorite pizza toppings and cheese and baked the puff pastries in the oven and they turned out amazing.
You can add your desired toppings, just like the ones you would on your pizza. You can also use a pizza sauce for the base if you would prefer.
Here's How to make it:
