Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry 500g
  • 100 g Boursin cheese or herbed cream cheese
  • 150 g prosciutto or salami or capocollo
  • 50 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • mixed seeds
  • egg wash (egg + 1 tablespoon milk)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Open on sheet pf puff pastry and spread the cheese spread. Add the prosciutto on top. Generously sprinkle all over the shredded cheese.
  • Layer on top the other sheet of puff pastry, and gently press it over the fillings.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a large triangle.
  • Keep the extra pieces of dough, and make a trunk at the bottom. You can also cut different shapes with a cookie cutter.
  • Starting from the bottom, cut the sides of the triangle. Make slits about every 3 cm. Leave the centre uncut.
  • Twist each strip gently. Do not over twist as the fillings might ooze out.
  • Brush the puff pastry with the egg wash, and top with the seeds. Bake for about 25 minutes or until it has a nice golden brown colour.
