Very unusal for Ina, but this recipe is not correct. It should read 2 sheets because the paste is for 2 sheets. Also if the sun dried tomatoes contained oil that will be a problem. Make this at your own risk!!

Had these Thanksgiving day as hors d'oeuvres and loved them. I would have sworn there was meat in them before hearing the recipe. Will have to try making them myself. Recipe seems very straight forward.

I'm sorry but this recipe did not read correctly. Nowhere does it say to just use half of the paste on the dough. If the paste covers 2 sheets of pastry, why didnt it call for 2 sheets? I use Ina's recipes all the time and this was the first flop I've ever made. And as far as using "common sense", one should be able to follow a recipe without worrying about what they have to do to make it work.

I love Ina and her recipes. I enjoy watching her, her easy style and elegant yet simple recipes. I have a question about the sun dried tomato palmiers for those you have made them. I've read all the precautions about too much oil, etc. But can you make these a day in advance? If so, what is the best way to store them and do you need to reheat before serving. thank you.

I teach a Food Preparation and Production Class in our local high school. As part of our State FCCLA Competition and Leadership Conference one of my students wanted to enter the Food Preparation Competition in the Appetizer category. I gave him several reciepes to look at and he researched several others. In the end, one of the 6 he chose to prepare for his appetizer tray was Ina's Tomato Basil Elephant Ears. That was when I told him who's recipe he was using. His comment, "Oh, I watch her show all the time." He went on to make the recipe several times with some minor changes. At the competition he received a Bronze medal and was thrilled to tell everyone he was able to customize Ina Garten's recipe into a winning entry. How much fun when the judges saw the Ina Graten/Food TV credit with my student's name next to it.

The elephant ears were a great success. Everyone loved the flavor and the fact that they were something out of the relm of ordinary.

I saw another show with similar recipe which called for 2 tablespoons of pesto spread evenly on the puff pastry. So after reading the reviews I used 2 tablespoons of prepared pesto and added 2 tablespoons of chopped sun dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese. Awesome! The possibilities are endless. Thanks Ina.

I f you watch the video you will note that Ina uses sun dried tomatoes that are NOT packed in oil. That may help those who found the pesto mixture too oilly.

This recipe has become a staple whenever I entertain, and they are always the first appetizer to go.

When I am rushed for time, I buy a jarred sun-dried tomato bruscetta and use that for the filling. I have also used artichoke dip for the filling.

Yummy!!
