Ingredients
Scale
- 2 premade, thawed puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400º and roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to thin it slightly.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rolled puff pastry onto it.
- Prick the inner area of the pastry border with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Fresh herbs can be added right before serving for added flavor.
Using a pizza cutter can help in cutting the pastry after baking.
