Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Unroll the pastry and cut into 4 rectangles. Take a sharp knife and score a 1cm edge inside each rectangle, taking care that you don't cut all the way through the pastry. Place on a baking sheet.
  2. Spread 1 tbsp pesto onto each slice, staying inside the border, then pile up the peppers and artichokes. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the pastry is starting to brown.
  3. Tear the mozzarella ball into small pieces, then scatter it (or use cheddar, if you prefer) over the veg. Return to the oven for 5-7 mins until the pastry is crisp and the cheese has melted. Serve with a green salad.

    This is lovely, I used artichokes and roasted peppers out of jars, I have also made it adding mushrooms. It is very versatile.

    These are fantastic. I also added caramelised onions (caramelised in balsamic vinager and 1 tsp brown sugar) on the top and chedder. My partner hates veg of any sort but loved this. Not sure if you are supposed to freeze uncooked. I froze after cooking and they were fine reheated in the oven for 10 mins although the pastry was obviously crispier. I think you can freeze them uncooked. Great recipie

    This is gorgeous! I left out the artichokes because i don't like them but it tasted great without them. I made them as a starter for a number of people and they were voted the best dish! Will definitely be making them again.

    I am not too keen on artichokes either so I replaced this ingredient with sliced red onions and strips of anchovy - delicous!

    Pesto is made of parmesan cheese: Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano is an EU Protected Designation of Origin product and has to be made using calf rennet, so it�s definitely NOT suitable for vegetarians.

    Have to strongly agree with Jacqueline! Beware if making this dish for vegetarians, a specialist non-parmesan pesto will be required. No parmesan is suitable for veggies!!!

    Really tasty! All the flavours go well together. The cooking time was a bit too much (as mine got burnt!), but otherwise a flawless recipe. Very few ingredients too!
