Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2 thawed puff pastry sheets to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 12 stars from the dough.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers, 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently.
  3. Step 3: Place half of the puff pastry stars on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the red pepper and feta mixture onto the center of each star base, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the base stars with beaten egg from 1 egg. Top each with another pastry star and press edges lightly to seal.
  5. Step 5: Brush the tops of the tartlets with the remaining beaten egg and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
