A fun savoury snack to serve up this Christmas. Star shaped puff pastry with red and green pesto<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Star<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have guests arriving this Christmas and want to make something simple but also really impressive then this Pesto Puff Pastry Star Wreath is the one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s just two sheets of pastry with red and green pesto spread in the middle and topped with parmesan cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Star<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to roll out one sheet of puff pastry and cut it across the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pre-rolled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spread green pesto on the top half and red pesto on the bottom half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the second sheet of pastry on top and cut again along the middle, following the line you already made when you cut the first sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push down on the top layer so that it all sticks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pesto<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use a star cutter to cut out shapes from the pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star cutter I used was 6cm in size but you can use a slightly larger or small one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Star<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use a large dinner plate to draw a circle shape onto some parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add the cut out stars all around the circle, overlapping them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add some egg wash to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Star<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then finally top with grated parmesan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe FAQ’s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Egg Alternative<\/strong> \u2013 Instead of egg you can use some milk brushed on to the top of the pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offcuts<\/strong> \u2013 There will be lots of offcuts from the pastry. Don\u2019t throw them away! Bake them up on another baking tray and they\u2019re just as delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving<\/strong> \u2013 You can serve this wreath up directly on the parchment paper that you cooked it on. You can also transfer it to a board or large plate. When you transfer it, some of the stars will break away. But it\u2019s easy to arrange them back into the circle shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
