    I liked the flavors, but I would change the EVOO to 1/2 cup. The oil leaked a lot when baking, making the ears a little greasier than I prefer. I also did not flip the pastries as they were too delicate for my clumsy hands to flip. They seemed fine without the flipping.

    Very good, but a little pesto goes a long way. Fortunately I heeded the advice of previous reviewers and used minute quantities of the pest.

    I served these at Thanksgiving without having tried them first and they were a huge hit!

    I was dying to try this recipe after watching the episode. Unfortunately, time was not on my side. I spread pre-made pesto on the pastry and placed sundried tomatoes on top of it. It tasted great. I also made a second batch using Nutella instead of pesto. Num...

    These were too oily, tossed them in the trash! Very disappointing, I generally love Ina's recipes, not this one.

    Amazing flavor and very easy to make. I cut the garlic back to 3 cloves since some of my guests weren't big garlic fans.

    I thought something was wrong with this recipe after I watched it on TV and then went to print it off the web.

    DO NOT USE all of the pesto as indicated by the recipe!! Use HALF the pesto for one sheet of puff pastry.

    Once I get some more basil, I'll try this one again, but was incredibly disappointed when I followed the recipe instead of my eyes. Tomato pesto goo EVERYWHERE.

    I watched Ina make this recipe last week and thought it looked so good and easy plus I had most of the ingredients on hand. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews until I took the oily, over-filled pieces out of the oven. I'll bring them to Thanksgiving dinner anyway - my friends are very understanding - but, next time I'll follow the guidance in the previous reviews and add less oil and basil and spread a thinner layer of the filling on the pastry dough.
