Festive Puff Pastry Christmas Tree Sticks
These Christmas tree sticks are made from puff pastry, shaped into festive trees, and filled with sweet or savory fillings. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves as a delightful xmas food option for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup of your choice of filling (e.g., Nutella, cream cheese, or pesto)
- Sprinkles or coarse sugar for decoration (optional)
- Flour for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut the pastry into triangle shapes to form the tree sticks.
- Add Filling: Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center of each triangle, leaving space at the edges. Fold the sides of the triangle over the filling to create a tree shape.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastry trees with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake: Place the prepared pastry sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tree sticks to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles for a festive touch.
