Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut puff pastry sheet into four equal squares (5"×5"). Create a border for each tart by folding each edge over 1/4". Prick the bottom of each tart with a fork. Place puff pastry tarts on baking tray. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until tart shells puff and become golden in colour. Remove from oven. |
