Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the thawed puff pastry into 9 even rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix until smooth. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl for the egg wash.
  4. Spread approximately 1½ tablespoons of the ricotta filling on each pastry rectangle and arrange halved mini heirloom tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil and brush edges with egg wash.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
  6. Let the tartlets cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil and flaky sea salt before serving.
