I love bite size appetizers! The Plzak's had a birthday party this past weekend and I was asked to bring a dish. I created these poppers from what I had on hand in my kitchen (love that).
Photographed are the pesto and mozzarella cheese poppers but I also made then with roasted red peppers and mozzarella cheese and they were equally as good.
Really the types of fillings are endless!
Pesto Poppers
wifeplzak original
1 sheet puff pastry
fresh mozzarella
pesto
toothpicks
Preheat oven to 400F.
Roll out the puff pastry and using a 2 inch round biscuit cutter, cut out circles. In the center of each place a small piece of mozzarella cheese and a teaspoon of pesto.
Pull all sides together and attach with two toothpicks per popper. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and discard toothpicks. Serve warm! (can be served room temperature but so much better warm)

These look delicious! I'm going to have to dedicate one of my batches of pesto this summer to try this out!
I'll have to try this with the fresh pesto I made yesterday!
Tasty and summer cute!
This sounds like such a great appetizer! I'm saving it to use in the future.
What a great appetizer idea!
What a great idea. Great photos too.
I love this idea! I have been trying to figure out what to do with all of the basil my garden is producing!
Sounds delicious, I wonder how a 1/2 of a grape tomato would taste inside.
