Just in time for Christmas, allow us to introduce the perfect pastry hors d’oeuvre – the puff pastry Christmas tree. You can conjure up a festive hors d’oeuvre to delight your guests with only two ingredients. It can also be served as a starter when accompanied by a side salad.

The Christmas tree is not just decorative and delicious – the highlight is: the guests can simply tear off one or more branches to enjoy the hors d’oeuvre.

You can either prepare it with basil pesto for a green colour or with tomato pesto for a red colour. Or try out a sweet version of this recipe with chocolate or jam! There are almost no limits when it comes to fillings. Which one do you like best? Or do you have other suggestions? We’d love to hear them in the comment section.
