Sometimes I get tired. Ok, so I work from home and I have nothing to complain about. But sometimes I get tired of the constant grind of working, cooking, cleaning, repeat. So when my husband, yes my husband, taught me this easy dish, it became a key tool in the tool kit.
So tonight we are using some amazing ingredients from Trader Joe’s to make an exceptional 20 minute puff pastry pizza.
Thanks to their monthly Fearless Flyer issue, I found this AMAZING fresh Burrata at Trader Joe’s. It’s a type of fresh mozzarella that has a surprise! creamy filling. It’s delicious. If only I had some fresh truffle to shave on top of it with a bit of olive oil and I would eat it by itself.
You can really put whatever you want on this, but I went simple: cheese, ham, and marinara.
So I started out by thawing the puff pastry according to the instructions. I cut off one leaf to get to my ideal size but you can make the pizza whatever size you want. I then created a quick egg wash and spread it about an inch around the perimeter. Then, I spread some sauce in the middle. I don’t put too much because I don’t want it to make the puff pastry soggy.
Next I added on the toppings!
And watched them puff up in my brand new oven!
After about 15 minutes on 350F in a convection oven, dinner was served!
