Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Knead the flour with diced butter and salt until crumbly, then knead in 5 tablespoons of cold water. Flatten the dough, wrap it in foil, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Wash the tomatoes, cut them in half, and bake them cut-side up at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Roll out the dough thinly and cut out 6 circles (approx. 12 cm in diameter). Place the circles on a baking sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on each one, leaving a 2 cm border. Slice the mozzarella, place it on the dough, and arrange the tomatoes on top. Pull the edges of the dough up and shape them into waves. Brush the dough with beaten egg yolk and bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 175 degrees Celsius and bake the tartlets for another 20 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired. Conclusion: a poem! Delicious even cold. Easy to prepare.
