Ingredients
- 2 Pepperidge Farm® puff pastry sheets defrosted for no more than 40 minutes at room temperature
- 1 pound bulk Mexican chorizo sausage
- 3 cups shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Crumble the chorizo as much as possible (I've found it easiest to to by hand), then brown in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Set aside and allow to cool in the pan juices.
- Unfold the defrosted puff pastry sheets and cut into 9 equal size squares per sheet. Place the squares on baking sheets, prick each piece all over with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on. Let cool for a few minutes, then flatten each square down with the back of a spatula.
- Top each piece with a little shredded mozzarella, then equal amounts chorizo, and a final layer of cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more or until the cheese is melted and the tarts are sizzling.
