Red Pepper and Boursin Tarts

2 red bell peppers, quartered lenghtwise, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (17 1/2 oz) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

1/4 cup herbed Boursin cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Cook bell peppers in oil in a large nonstick skiller over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes, then cool.

Unfold passtry sheets on a ligthly floured surface and cut out an 8" or 9" round from each. Transfer rounds to a buttered large baking sheet and prick all over with a fork, leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges.

Spread 2 tablespoons cheese evenly over each round, then scatter with peppers and sprinkle with thyme, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
