Mini Tomato Pie Cups

This is another version of tomato pie that is baked in mini pastry puffs, yum! (Thanks to my sister Terri for telling me about this version!)
Servings: 40 mini tomato cups

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 8 ounces organic cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan (or just use any combination of cheeses that you have on-hand)
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/3 cup homemade mayo easy recipe is here with a video, or finally there's a good one you can buy with no seed oils!
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup diced cooked bacon
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes (If you're using big ones, try to get most of the liquid out of them before dicing)

Mini pastry cups:

  • 1 package (2 sheets) Trader Joe's puff pastry sheets (See recipe notes!)
  • 1 egg beaten with a fork

Instructions

Filling:

  • Mix everything but the bacon and tomatoes together, I used a stick blender.
  • Stir in the bacon and tomatoes.

Mini pastry cups:

  • Preheat the oven to 400*.
  • Cut each pastry sheet into 20 equal pieces. They'll be rectangular, so for a few I cut off the end to make them into squares, pressed the squares into an ungreased mini muffin pan, and use the piece you cut off to build up the sides where it doesn't reach the top. Or if you're in a hurry, just press the rectangular piece in there and it'll be fine.
  • Brush the beaten egg over the top of the pastry cups.
  • Pre-bake for 6 minutes.

Last steps:

  • Fill the cups with the tomato filling. (If you have some left, it's good heated up as a dip with organic tortilla chips, ​I found some without seed oils​!)
  • Bake 11 minutes or so until middle is hot and edges are a bit golden brown. (My sister uses her air fryer.)
  • Let cool a bit before biting in because the filling with be HOT. Enjoy!

Notes

About the puff pastry sheets:
I've checked the labels on ALL the other brands that I could find and they all have seed oils (canola, soybean, etc.), preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, TBHQ, and other nasties.
Trader Joe's ONLY has: "wheat flour, water, butter, salt, vinegar."!
The only problem is that my store only carries it around Christmas and maybe other holidays, so I buy a few at a time and keep in my freezer.
About the serving size of 40 mini cups:
This amount was perfect for our family of 6, but you could easily cut this in half.
