Apéro puff pastry trees
Preparation in 30 minutes
Ingredients
for 8 pieces
1 rectangular puff pastry
100g herb cream cheese
150g ham
1 egg
8 wooden picks
Optional: Black sesame seeds
Preparation: 10 minutes
Backing time: 20 minutes
Preparation
-
Place the wooden picks in water for 30 minutes (so that they do not burn in the oven).
-
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Lay out the puff pastry and brush with the herb cream cheese.
-
Place the ham on the coated puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry in eight strips of equal size.
-
Fold in the strips and place them lengthwise in a fir tree shape. Skewer them with the wooden picks, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and brush with a whisked egg. If you like, you can sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top.
-
Bake for around 20 minutes until the pine trees are nicely golden brown.
