Puff Pastry Pesto Christmas Trees
Adorable, festive, easy, and DELICIOUS! Paired with our 25 year Denissimo Balsamic Vinegar – these will be a CROWD PLEASER at your Christmas party!
Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry, thawed
- 4 Tbsp Stonewall Kitchen Basil Pesto
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan
- 4 slices of Smoked Gouda cheese, cut into small stars using a cookie cutter
- 2 Tbsp Denissimo Fine Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 8 cherry tomatoes, diced small
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Roll out the puff pastry sheet over parchment paper. Using a small spatula, spread the Stonewall Kitchen Basil Pesto evenly on top of the puff pastry. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top as well. Using a knife (or wheel cutter), cut the puff pastry into 1 inch strips. Fold the strips to make the Christmas tree shape. You can leave the puff pastry as is or add a skewer in the middle so they keep their shape a little better.
Bake the puff pastry trees for 10-15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and add prepared smoked gouda stars. Finish with Denissimo Fine Aged Balsamic Vinegar, freshly chopped basil, and diced tomatoes.
Enjoy!
