Method

Preheat the oven to 200_C/fan180_C/ gas 6. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Unroll the pastry and cut into 20 squares, each measuring 5cm. Place these on the baking trays, then top each with a little goat’s cheese, 1/2 teaspoon pesto and 2 cherry tomato halves. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is cooked, crisp and pale golden. Push any tomatoes that have fallen off back onto the pastries and transfer them to serving trays.
Serve hot or cold, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
