Preparation of Christmas Tree Appetizer

Let’s see how to prepare our appetizer.
Roll out the puff pastry leaving it on its parchment paper, and cut the dough into a tree shape with a knife. Spread the tomato sauce, seasoned with salt and oregano, with a spoon. Place the slices of cooked ham and cover with the other sheet of puff pastry, cutting it like the bottom one. Seal the edges well with a fork. Brush with beaten egg and decorate with olives and cherry tomatoes.
Once you’ve sealed the edges well, place in the hot oven and bake at 355°F for about 15/18 minutes or until the desired golden brown.
