Puff Pastry Christmas Trees with Prosciutto and Pesto

Instructions

• 1
  Divide the puff pastry into two equal parts and roll them out. Cut each part into squares (a total of 28 squares per 300 g of dough, graded from large to small) to be able to layer the Christmas trees.
• 2
  Place a piece of prosciutto, some Emmentaler, and a dollop of Pesto Rosso on each square (except the smallest one for the top). Stack the squares according to size, placing every second square slightly offset (diagonally) to create the shape of a Christmas tree. Secure with a wooden skewer.
• 3
  Brush the Christmas trees with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (top/bottom heat) for approx. 25–30 minutes until golden brown. After cooling, carefully remove the wooden skewers and garnish with fresh thyme.
