Pizza Puff Pastry Tarts

While these Pizza Puff Pastry Tarts are a delightful treat, they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The puff pastry provides carbohydrates for energy, while the cheese offers calcium and protein. The vegetable toppings, though in small amounts, contribute vitamins and minerals. To make this dish a bit healthier, you could increase the vegetable toppings and use a whole wheat puff pastry if available. You could also opt for a low-fat cheese to reduce the saturated fat content. Remember, portion control is key when enjoying such indulgent treats. Pairing these tarts with a fresh side salad can help balance the meal and increase your vegetable intake.
