Ingredients

Scale

1 rouleau de pâte feuilletée
200 g de saumon fumé
200 g de mozzarella fraîche
12 tomates cerises
1 cuillère à soupe d'huile d'olive
1 jaune d'œuf

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin pan. Optionally, dust with flour.
Roll out the puff pastry and cut circles about 10 cm in diameter. Press each circle into the muffin cups, letting the edges slightly overflow.
In a bowl, combine the diced smoked salmon, mozzarella cubes, halved cherry tomatoes, and olive oil. Mix until evenly coated.
Fill each pastry cup with the salmon mixture, ensuring not to overfill.
Whisk the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it over the tops of the pastry cups.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
