Puff Pastry Pesto Christmas Trees
Crunchy pesto-flavored snack shaped as Chrismas Tree. The perfect Christmas appetizer or aperitivo to welcome guests with Italian flavors.
Ingredients
- ▢1 roll Puff Pastry
- ▢3-4 tablespoon Basil Pesto
- ▢2 tablespoon Parmigiano cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet over parchment paper.
- Spread the basil pesto evenly on top of the puff pastry, using a spoon or a spatula.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano cheese on top as well.
- With a knife or with a wheel cutter, cut the puff pastry into strips large about 1 inch / 2.5 cm.
- Fold the strips to make the Christmas tree shape. You can leave the puff pastry as it is or add a skewer in the middle as I did.
