Dieser herzhafte Blätterteig-Weihnachtsbaum ist eine festliche und einfache Vorspeise, perfekt für Feiertagstreffen. Knusprige Blätterteigschichten werden mit cremigem Boursin-Käse bestrichen, mit würzigem Prosciutto und geriebenem Cheddar belegt, zu einem Baum gedreht und für einen knusprigen Abschluss mit gemischten Samen bestreut.

Zutaten
- 2 sheets puff pastry (500g total)
- 100 g Boursin cheese or herbed cream cheese
- 50 g shredded cheddar cheese
- 150 g prosciutto or salami or capocollo
- Mixed seeds (such as sesame, poppy, sunflower) for sprinkling
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk)
Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the puff pastry: Thaw the puff pastry sheets if frozen, then lay them out on a lightly floured surface. Lay one sheet flat to create the base of your Christmas tree.
- 2
Spread the cheese: Generously spread the Boursin or herbed cream cheese evenly over the first puff pastry sheet, ensuring full coverage to help the layers stick together and add flavor.
- 3
Add the cured meats: Layer the prosciutto, salami, or capocollo evenly on top of the cheese-covered pastry, making sure to cover the surface but not overly piled to keep the pastry balanced.
- 4
Second puff pastry layer: Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the layered first sheet and gently press down to seal the layers together.
- 5
Cut and shape the tree: Using a sharp knife, trim the edges to form a neat rectangular shape if needed, then cut the pastry into a triangle shape to resemble a Christmas tree. Cut strips on both sides of the triangle, leaving the center intact as a trunk.
- 6
Twist the branches: Carefully twist each strip outward to create the branches of the tree, exposing the filling inside and forming a decorative pattern.
- 7
Apply egg wash and cheese: Brush the entire tree with the prepared egg wash to promote a golden finish during baking. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and mixed seeds over the surface for added flavor and crunch.
- 8
Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the shaped pastry on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.
- 9
Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving as a festive appetizer or party snack.
