Tomato cherry and herb puff tarts (Tartas de tomate cherry y albahaca en masa de hoja)

Finally I am here to finish  the post of these Tomato cherry and basil little tarts.
This month has been crazy and sometimes a mess  with my appointments to the kinesiologist and everything else, Im going three times a week.
But the truth is never very quiet around here.

This recipe is vegetarian and we all loved it, the good thing is with puff pastry and they are made fast, you can vary the fillings but I had the tomatoes because suddenly I crave a recipe and so it was with this one.

I made this recipe in these smaller rectangular molds but it can be done in round or one long one, that is the one you have on hand or you like more.

Take advantage that in many places it is still summer and you can get beautiful tomatoes and basil. In any case, here in Chile, cherry tomatoes are usually found year-round.
Love and hugs for everyone.
Thanks for coming.
