Tomato crackers are delicious finger foods, also known as appetizers, made with puff pastry and prepared quickly and easily, suitable as accompaniments to aperitifs.

Great served cold or warm, both in hot and cold seasons.

With crackers, organizing an aperitif at home with friends or family becomes very easy and is always much appreciated.

As they say, with little expense, great yield. Ideal to serve before an important lunch while waiting for it to be ready.

With crackers, we make both adults and kids happy; in fact, at my kids’ birthday parties, they are never missing and are the first to disappear.

Steps for Preparing Tomato Crackers

To prepare the delicious tomato crackers, start by thoroughly washing the tomatoes under running water, dry them, and then cut them in half and then into slices not too thin and not too large, remembering that they must sit at the center of the puff pastry squares we will prepare.

Then, fold the puff pastry to a thickness of about 2 inches and create 2×2 inch squares. Cut them with a knife or a fluted wheel directly on their parchment paper.
Then line a baking tray with another parchment paper and place the squares neatly and well-spaced from each other by at least half an inch as they will puff up during baking. Then, using a finger, make a small indentation in the center of each square and place a slice of tomato seasoned with salt, oregano, and a cube of cooked ham on top.
Bake at 356°F for about 25 minutes, until golden brown, remove from the oven, and drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil . Serve warm or cold and … enjoy!
