My taste testers loved this one. I rated it a four because reading the recipe, it sure seemd like there was way too much cheese to hold up to the deleicate puff pastry crust, so I made a few modifications which I hate when people do and then rate a recipe, but I really thought it necessary. I used only about 1/2 to 2/3 of the cheese amounts called for. I had beautiful artichoke hearst so I did not mix them into the cheese mixture, I arranged them on top. I also cut the pastry sheets in half lengthwise to make longer tarts. I was worried that a more square shape would have caused the puff pastry to get mushy in the middle. Doing the rectangular shapes worked better, I think. I also used freshly roasted sweet red peppers instead of the jarred ones. This was really a nice appetizer that my testers enjoyed very much. I will be making this again. It might be good with just a little sprinkling of crab meat too.
