Mushroom and Onion Puffy Tarts


I'm going to a friends carribean sea themed party tonight, and thought I would take something along other than my well dressed partner, the vicious tiger shark (whippet) and beer. Puff pastry tarts are always welcome as finger food and these ones consist of a little flavour explosion topped off with a squiggle of light cream cheese.


2 sheets frozen puff pastry
2 tbs minced garlic
1/2 red onion, sliced very finely
8 small mushrooms, sliced finely
8 sundried tomato halves, sliced small
1/2 tub lite cream cheese
salt and pepper to taste


Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 long strips then halve them. Smear with minced garlic. Arrange on  an oiled baking sheet. Add onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. Put cream cheese in a plastic bag and cut the end off to use as a piping bag - add a squiggle of cheese on top of each one. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
Cook for 15 minutes or until browned and puffy. Allow to cool before serving!
