Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius).
Meanwhile: Roll out the puff pastry sheet thin (if not using fresh pastry) and using a 4-inch (10-centimeter) round cookie cutter, cut out as many circles as you can (you should be able to get 6-7). Place these onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
Use an inch smaller cutter to make a smaller circle inside the pastry. Don’t press too much, as you don’t want to cut right through. You just want to create an edge.
Top the pastry circles with a teaspoon of pizza sauce per piece, a few slices of zucchini, cherry tomatoes, little onion, olives and finish it off with goat cheese and blue cheese.
Sprinkle some chili pepper over (optional) and repeat bake at 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) for 10-15 minutes or until the puff pastry edges are puffed and nice golden brown.
Top with arugula (optional) and serve!

Notes
A ½ pound of puff pastry will be enough for about 6 pizzas (4-inch/10-centimeters wide). You can easily double the recipe and use a pound of pastry (500 grams) to get 12 mini puff pastry pizzas. Frozen (thawed and rolled out) or fresh puff pastry can be used.
My homemade pizza sauce is enough for 6-8 mini pizzas. If you like, use store-bought pizza sauce instead. You will need about a teaspoon of the sauce per pizza.
Either red, yellow or white onion can be used.
You can use either green or black olives. Stuffed olives are also great option. Feel free to increase the quantity if you like.
Both cheeses are salty so the more you add the saltier the pizzas and no extra seasoning should be needed. If you omit cheese, I would recommend sprinkling some salt over each puff pastry pizza.
Chili pepper can be omitted if you don’t like it.
Cooking time may vary. This will depend on the thickness of the pastry, its brand, as well as your oven. Count with 10-15 minutes per batch. Cook them on top rack.
