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!!
