Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2
Prepare pastry

Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut one sheet into a large triangle for the tree, and cut stars from the other sheet.

3
Create tree branches

Make horizontal cuts along both sides of the triangle, leaving the center intact, to create tree branches.

4
Spread pesto

Spread pesto sauce over the tree and star shapes, leaving a small border around the edges.

5
Add tomatoes

Halve cherry tomatoes and arrange them on the tree and stars.

6
Sprinkle cheese and seeds

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and mixed seeds over the pastries.

7
Prepare egg wash

Beat the egg and brush it over the exposed pastry edges.

8
Season

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the pastries.

9
Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

10
Serve

Let cool slightly before serving. Arrange the tree and stars on a serving platter.
