Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese until well combined.

Chop tomatoes and add to the cheese mixture along with chopped basil, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Spoon the cheese and tomato mixture onto the center of each pastry square.

Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.

Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
