Name: Savory Puff Pastry Christmas Tree Recipe
Total time: 55 mins
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto; 2 tablespoons soft goat cheese (such as Chavrie®); 2 sheets puff pastry; 2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese, divided; 1 egg, beaten; 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomato pesto with the goat cheese. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
Unroll one puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Cut two strips from the bottom to create a tree trunk, approximately 1 inch wide and tall. Cut diagonally up the sheet to form a long triangular shape, removing any excess pastry from the sides.
Spread a thin, even layer of the pesto mixture over the puff pastry, ensuring it covers all the way to the edges. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Pecorino-Romano cheese evenly on top.
Roll up the second puff pastry sheet and position it at the tip of the triangle. Carefully unroll it towards the bottom. Press down lightly and trim the sides to perfectly match the first triangle, removing any excess pastry.
Cut 2/3-inch thick branches into both sides of the triangle, leaving a lengthwise space in the center from the trunk to the tip. Twist each branch away from you, aiming for about 2 turns on the lower branches. Continue up the tree, twisting as you go.
Brush the entire Christmas tree with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of Pecorino-Romano cheese and dried oregano evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the puff pastry is a deep, golden brown color, approximately 20 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
