CHRISTMAS TREES PREPARATION

First roll the puff pastry directly onto your Roul'Pat. Cut 4 large stars, 4 medium stars, 4 small stars and 2 mini stars.
1 Puff pastry sheet
Arrange one set of each well apart onto your Large Bonmat. Use a fork to pick each center, brush with egg wash. Using the back of a pipping tip cut a circle into each star and place these stars on top of the other ones. Brush with egg wash.
1 egg

BAKE!

Bake for 10 minutes at 400F/200C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your stars from 8 minutes). It is ready when the pastry has puffed and is golden. NOTE: Due to the size of the mini stars, take them out 1 to 2 minutes sooner so they don't get burnt.

ASSEMBLY

Once your Stars are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on top of the baking sheet.
To built your Christmas tree: Use the large star base and spoon the red pepper spread together with the cream cheese. Add the medium star on top and repeat the previous step. Add the small star on top and repeat the previous step. Finish with the mini star. Bon Appétit & Happy Holidays!
