Ingredients
Puff Pastry Trees
- 2 pieces puff pastry
- 4 slices ham
- 6 slices cheese
- 1 piece cheese for the stars
- 8 skewers
Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Lay out a piece of semi-defrosted puff pastry.
- Add a layer of sliced deli ham and then a layer of sliced cheese.
- Place another piece of puff pastry on top and push down.
- Slice into 8 equal strips. A pizza cutter is best for this if you have one.
- Fold the pastry starting at the bottom, making it thicker, and slowly fold thinner to the top to make a tree shape.
- Carefully push a skewer up through the puff pastry, leaving about 1 cm on the top to add the cheese star.
- Place on a lined baking tray and in the oven at 200°c for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the puff pastry trees from the oven. Melt the butter and add the minced garlic and parsley. Brush the butter over the puff pastry trees while still warm.
- Cut out the stars from some cheese using a star cutter. Place them on the top of each of the skewers and serve.
