Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry rectangular
6 dried tomatoes
3 cherry tomatoes
20 gr Mozzarella
2 tbl spoon pine nuts
1 clove garlic
1 tbl spoon olive oil
1 tbl spoon chives fresh
10 leave basil fresh
salt and pepper

Instructions

Make the tomato pesto first:

Rinse the fresh tomatoes and halve them. Place these in the cutter together with the dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, Mozzarella and basil. Mix until you get a fine pesto/tapenade.
Chop the chives. Mix this with the pesto. Season with salt and pepper
Leave the puff pastry in the refrigerator for as long as possible (or put it in the freezer for 30 minutes), which makes it easier to work with. Cut circles of +/- Ø8 cm with a round shape. I was able to cut 12.
Place a disk of puff pastry on a plate. Spoon a spoonful of the pesto on top and cover with another disk of puff pastry. Do this also with the rest of the puff pastry.
Heat your waffle iron. Brush a little oil on both baking trays. Place a filled puff pastry in the middle and close your waffle iron. Depending on your device (check occasionally) it will need to bake for about 2-3 minutes.
Place on a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat this with the remaining puff pastry discs.
You can serve these as tapas together with, for example, tzatziki or a tasty garlic sauce. My children also take them cold to school as a snack.

Notes

Nothing is as simple as savory waffles made from puff pastry. This combination received 5 stars from my family. They disappeared like snow under the sun.

I make these all year round, in the summer as tapas and during the colder months as a snack by the fire…

Bring coziness to cold winter days or sultry summer evenings with these heart-warming puff pastry waffles, generously topped with homemade tomato pesto and melted mozzarella. This recipe combines the classic flavors of Mediterranean cuisine in a savory waffle. The ingredients are simple but nutritious and fresh: high-quality puff pastry, sun-ripened and fresh tomatoes, fragrant basil, garlic, pine nuts, and the indispensable mozzarella. The waffles are a pleasure for both the eyes and the taste buds, offering a surprise with every bite. Perfect for a winter brunch, as a warming snack, or as a tasty side dish for dinner.
