Savory puff pastries in the microwave with ricotta and cherry tomatoes. Like the microwave savory muffins or the microwave phyllo rolls, they are perfect for an appetizer or aperitif with friends. While browsing a magazine, I saw a beautiful savory puff pastry pie filled with cheese and lots of cherry tomatoes that captivated me, especially for the beautiful photo. As you know by now, I love “complicating” my life, always trying to have my original touch. So I decided not to follow that recipe but to use the microwave and make many small puff pastries with ricotta cream and cherry tomatoes. I must say, like all my other MICROWAVE RECIPES, this one was also a success. Accompanied by a glass of prosecco, they were perfect for the aperitif.
