We serve these (and variations thereon) at the "not the Rosadaddy's birthday, honest" barbecue in July - recipe from Rosamummy. They're so easy they're hardly worth the dignity of the word "recipe" though.
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry (you can make your own, but really...)
Tapenade
Goats cheese
cherry tomatoes
olive oil
Black pepper
Preheat oven to 220C (200C for fan ovens).
Put pastry sheet on a baking tray. With a sharp knife, gently mark a line all around the sheet, not cutting all the way through, 1cm from the edge.
Spread the pastry sheet with tapenade, going up to, but not over, the line scored round. Arrange slices of goats cheese over the tapenade, top each slice of goats cheese with half a cherry tomato. Grind over some black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, bung* in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Leave to cool, then cut into squares. Eat in the sunshine with friends.
Variations - use pesto instead of tapenade, scatter with stoned olives instead of tomatoes. If you use onion marmalade, anchovies, and olives, you have a cheat's pisalladiere.
