- flour, for dusting
- 2 x 320g packs ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp pesto
- 9 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 x 125g pack of mini-mozzarella balls, drained and quartered
- 1 pack fresh basil (optional)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 onion, very thinly sliced
- 150ml/5fl oz soured cream
- 70g/2½oz prosciutto, roughly chopped
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
- Lightly flour a work surface and unroll the puff pastry flat. Using a ruler and a pizza wheel, cut into 72 small, equally sized squares. Transfer the squares to 4 baking trays and brush each square with a little of the beaten egg, especially at the edges.
- For the pesto bites, using a teaspoon, place a little pesto in the centre of each of 36 squares. Top with a quarter of a mozzarella ball and a quarter of a tomato. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the prosciutto pizza bites, place the onions in a bowl and salt generously. (Salting the onions draws out their sharpness and begins to soften them.) Using a teaspoon, place a little sour cream in the centre of each of the remaining squares. Rinse the onions under running water. Drain well. Place a few slices of onion on each square. Divide the prosciutto between the squares, ensuring that a little fat gets on each piece.
- Bake both types of pizza for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden-brown.
- The tomato ones can be topped with a basil leaf if you want, and are best served hot. You can serve the white pizzas hot or cold.
