Pizza Filling
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix diced pepperoni, Asiago cheese, dried thyme, dried oregano, kosher salt and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Puff Pastry
Flour your work surface. Unfold puff pastry. Roll out pastry to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a small 2 1/2 inch circle pastry cutter, cut out 30 rounds. Transfer rounds to parchment-lined sheet pan and prick each circle 3 times with a fork. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and set a baking sheet on top. Bake pastry for about 10 minutes, then remove the sheet pan and bake until browned, about 5 more minutes; remove pastry from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
Make Pizzas
Brush mustard on cooked puff pastry. Place a full teaspoon of the cheese and some pepperoni mixture on top.
Bake Pizzas
Bake 5-7 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted. Serve immediately garnished with a sprig of thyme.
