Makes 8 Salami Christmas Trees
Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 jar of tomato sauce
- 15-20 salami slices from our Salumibar
- Tasty Cheese Block or Vegan Cheese Block
- Skewer sticks
- Mr Nick’s Olive oil (for brushing)
- Shredded Cheese optional
Method:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan-forced).
- Prepare the Base: Lay one sheet of puff pastry flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over the entire surface, like you would on a pizza.
- Add Salami: Place salami slices evenly on top of the tomato sauce Optional: Add shredded cheese.
- Top with Puff Pastry: Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the top, covering the salami and sauce.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Gently brush olive oil over the top of the puff pastry to give it a nice golden finish when baking.
- Cut and Shape: Slice the pastry into long strips (about 1 inch wide). Zigzag the strips slightly, then thread a skewer stick through the center to form a Christmas tree shape.
- Bake: Arrange the skewer sticks on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
- Serve: Let the Christmas tree pastry sticks cool for a few minutes before serving and with a star cookie cutter, cut star shapes of cheese to place as decoration.
