1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 24 miniature muffin cups with cooking spray. Unroll crescent dough sheet into 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares.
2. Gently press dough squares into muffin cups (dough will not completely cover inside of cup; do not press too much). In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush mixture lightly onto insides of crescent dough. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
3. Fill each baked crescent cup with generous 1/2 teaspoon pesto, cheese ball half and tomato quarter. Bake 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is softened. Remove from pan. Top with basil before serving. Serve warm.
Tip 1 Fresh mozzarella comes in various sizes and forms. We tested with the 1/3 oz ciliegine (cherry size or 1-inch balls), cut in half, for this mini tart recipe. Tip 2 Using a pizza cutter works well for cutting the dough into squares for your savory mini tarts. Try to get even-sized pieces for the best results. Tip 3 Cooking Vegetarian? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
