Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings servings

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

1 (14.5 ounce can) whole peeled tomatoes, drained

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 clove garlic

1 pinch sea salt

6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped

1/4 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

10 basil leaves, torn

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread each sheet of puff pastry onto a piece of lightly floured parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll pastry into even rectangles. Lift pastry (with parchment paper) onto baking sheets.

Pierce puff pastry all over with a fork. Beat egg with water in a small dish; brush pastry all over with egg wash.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. 

Meanwhile, pulse tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt together in a food processor until pureed.

Carefully press pastry crusts down to deflate them. Spread half the tomato sauce evenly to within about an inch of edges of each crust; drizzle with remaining olive oil. Top evenly with mozzarella cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Bake until cheese is melted and crust edges are golden, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and scatter basil leaves over the top. Slice and serve hot.
