3.5 oz Smoked Bacon

How to prepare the Savory Puff Pastry Christmas Tree

Let’s start preparing the savory puff pastry Christmas tree by unrolling the rectangular puff pastry and laying the slices of smoked bacon on top.
Place the longer side in front of you and roll it not too tightly so that the puff pastry has space to rise during baking and be well cooked.
With a sharp knife, cut into strips to get 18 rolls, first cut the roll in half and then each half into 9 parts.
Cover the oven tray with parchment paper and arrange the rolls to form a tree shape, placing 6 rolls first, then 4, 3, 2, and 1, then place the 2 rolls underneath to resemble the trunk, as you see in the photo.
Preheat the oven to 356°F and when it’s hot, insert the savory puff pastry tree and bake for 20 minutes. When it is golden and the puff pastry is puffed, remove it from the oven and let it cool. You can decorate it as you like, you can use cherry tomatoes, capers, rosemary sprigs, or pomegranate seeds.
