Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out a puff pastry over a sheet of parchment paper. Spread tomato sauce on one side, green pesto on the other side, and sprinkle grated cheese over in an even layer. Cover with the second puff pastry, making the extremities fit.
Using a large knife or a pizza roller, cut the puff pastry into strips, about 1-inch (2,5 cm) width. Then, using your hands, fold the strips to make the Christmas tree shape, and insert a stick down through the middle to hold the tree. Transfer the Christmas trees to the prepared baking sheet.

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle some sesame seeds, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden. Re-shape slightly if needed to ensure they keep their Christmas tree shape. Let cool for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

Notes

* Alternatively, you can use only one filling, and also replace with various fillings of choice (red pesto, tapenade, Boursin, etc.).
