PARMESAN PUFF PASTRY TREE
Quick tips
Use a rectangular puff pastry: easier to cut.
Don’t overdo the cream, or the tree will lose shape.
For an even more delicious variant, add sesame seeds, paprika, or chopped walnuts on top.
If you want a super crunchy Christmas appetizer, brush with egg and milk before baking.Quick tips
