Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Roll out the puff pastry until it's about 1/8 inch thick and cut into nine 3-inch squares.
  2. On each square, add a slice of tomato, two slices of pepperoni, a generous sprinkle of parmesan, and a handful of fresh basil.
  3. Fold each pastry square's corners towards the center and pinch to seal the edges, ensuring toppings are contained.
  4. Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden finish. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and pastries are golden brown.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Pair with a mixed green salad.
