Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking trays with silicone mats to prevent sticking.
  2. Unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 24 equal squares, approximately 6x4 inches each.
  3. Score a smaller square inside each pastry square, being careful not to cut all the way through, and prick the inner square with a fork.
  4. Whisk together one egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash and brush it over the tops of the pastry squares.
  5. Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  6. Place a spoonful of goat cheese in the center of each pastry square, followed by the seasoned tomato halves on top, and sprinkle with dried thyme.
  7. Transfer the trays to the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil strips, and drizzle balsamic glaze if desired. Serve warm.
