Tomato Basil Squares, but in a Tartlet

In summary, to make Tomato Basil Squares in a Tartlet, you will need puff pastry, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can use any type of cheese that melts well as a substitute for mozzarella. To prevent the puff pastry from getting soggy, pre-bake it or sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on the bottom. The tartlets can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge, just make sure to bring them to room temperature before baking. The baked tartlets can also be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in the oven after thawing.

At one of my cluster meetings, we made what I think was some version of the tomato basil squares, but in tartlet form with the mini-muffin pan. I know it used Flaky Layer biscuits as the crust. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is this a real recipe or something that they just did?

I emailed my director but have gotten no response, and I want to make them for a party.
 
I can't help you with the recipe but we love the tomato basil squares in our house!!
