Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. 
  • Roll out the puff pastry. From the long edge of the pastry, cut a strip that is about 2cm wide and set it aside.
  • Cut one large triangle from the remaining dough, which will become the Christmas tree. 
  • Transfer the large triangle to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lay the long strip on top, down the middle, making sure that it sticks out at the bottom so as to resemble the stem of a tree. 
2
  • Spread two-thirds of the pesto and the cheese onto the triangle. 
  • Lay the smaller triangles of dough left from the previous step onto the top of the tree and press down lightly. 
  • To create the branches, cut 3cm thick strips from both sides of the triangle towards the centre, making sure not to cut all the way through the stem.
  • Twist the branches 1 or 2 times. 
3
  • Brush the tree with a splash of milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 
  • Bake the Christmas tree for 15 - 20 minutes, or until golden-brown. 
4
  • Transfer the puff pastry Christmas tree to a serving plate. 
  • Garnish with small dollops of pesto and fresh basil leaves so as to resemble Christmas ornaments.
