 Certainly! Here's a step-by-step recipe for Pizza Puff Pastry Tarts:

### Ingredients:

#### For the Puff Pastry Tarts:

- 1 package (about 17.3 ounces) puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, sliced olives, etc.)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)


#### For Garnish:

- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)


### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

#### Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets.
2. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.


#### Step 3: Assemble the Tarts

1. Place the cut puff pastry squares or rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Using a knife, lightly score a border about 1/2 inch from the edges of each pastry square, creating a border for the tart.
3. Prick the inside area of each tart with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.

5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
6. Add your favorite pizza toppings on each tart.
