Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Assembly

Unroll one sheet of puff pastry. Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over it, then sprinkle with half of the grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top and gently press down.

Cut and Glaze

Cut the pastry into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) squares or rectangles. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, then brush it over the top of the pizza bites. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Baking

Arrange the pizza bites on the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Extra Tips

► Experiment with different cheeses, such as smoked cheese or Parmesan, for extra flavor.

► If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle some chili flakes over the tomato sauce.

► Store leftover pizza bites in an airtight container; they are also delicious cold.
