How to Make Cheesy Appetizer

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spread the tomato mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  5. Tightly roll the puff pastry from the long edge closest to you into a log.
  6. Pinch the seam to seal. Chill the log in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Slice the chilled log into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  8. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
