These little Christmas-tree stacks with the melty ham-and-cheese surprise in the base and golden layers on the outside, always bring such warmth to the table.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
    6–8 sliced ham, thin
    6–8 slices cheese (Gruyère, Emmenthal or Swiss)
    1 egg
    1 tbsp water
    Sesame seeds
    2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

    Wooden skewers

Preparation


  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Roll out the puff pastry slightly to even out the thickness. ⏱️ 3 minutes



    Cut pastry using four sizes of star cookie cutters: large (3.5–4 inches), medium (3 inches), small (2 inches), and very small (1–1.5 inches). Aim for 4–5 stars per tree. ⏱️ 5 minutes

    For the bottom 3 layers, assemble: star → ham → cheese → star. This gives that melty layered base.
    Upper layers stay plain. ⏱️ 4 minutes

    Beat the egg with 1 tbsp water and brush each star lightly. Poke some holes with a fork in the cut out shapes. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. ????✨ ⏱️ 3 minutes

    Place the stars separately on a lined tray and bake 15–18 minutes until puffed and deep golden. Remember—the trees are not baked assembled. ???? ⏱️ 18 minutes

    Allow pieces to cool slightly, then thread onto skewers: largest at the bottom, then smaller layers upward, finishing with the tiny top. ⏱️ 5 minutes

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the tops for that festive green touch. ⏱️ 1 minute
