Onion and mozzarella tartlets

A great snack – or it can be a light supper for two (like a ‘small plate’) along with a green salad.

So many things can be done with refrigerated crescent rolls.  Trader Joes now carries these (in my local store anyway.)

• TJ’s Crescent Rolls (prepared dough), or similar from the refrigerator section of your grocery store
• 1 huge or 2 medium sized red onions
• 1 yellow or red pepper
• tomato slices (cherry tomatoes are nice – good flavor)
• 3 1/2 oz (100 g) mozzarella of your choice, cut into thick slices or chunks
• Fresh basil leaves

Roll out the dough and pinch it together to make four squares (about 3″ x 3″)

Bake at 375F for about 8 minutes while you cut up the other ingredients:
Cut the red onions into thin wedges. Cut slivers of pepper. (Or if you’re in the mood, cut the pepper in half and char it a bit on a broiler rack for flavor.) Slice up your yummy mozzarella. Thinly slice the tomato.
Take the dough squares and assemble all the cut up ingredients in an artistic way – sprinkle with basil. Then bake these for 10-12 minutes (keep a bit of a watch).
Yum! These are really good. You can also just line a 8 x 8 pan with the dough — not do squares — bake it and then cut into serving sized pieces. It’s a bit faster, but a bit less pretty.
