Ingredients
 

  • 2 Puff pastry sheets
  • 6 oz (170 g) smoked salmon (+ more for decoration)
  • 4.69 oz (135 g) Ricotta cheese
  • 1 (30 g) lemon juice (From 1 lemon)
  • 1 tsp (0.1 g) dill (Freeze dry)
  • 4 oz (115 g) shredded cheese
  • 1 egg (For Egg wash)
  • Sel Gris Mill (Season to Taste)
  • Pepper Mill (Season to Taste)

Instructions
 

NEW YEAR APPETIZER PREPARATION

  • First roll the puff pastry directly onto your workstation. Use a stencil to cut two sets of 2 | 0 | 2 | 4. Refrigerate while preparing the smoked salmon stuffing.
    2 Puff pastry sheets
  • Add the smoked salmon, ricotta cheese, lemon juice and dill to the blender. Mix under "Chop Mode" or until desired consistency.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the shredded cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Take the puff pastry out of the fridge and arrange one set of 2 | 0 | 2 | 4 directly onto your Large Bonmat.
  • Scoop the smoked salmon preparation onto each number leaving a 1/3 inch | 1 cm border. Then, brush the border with a beaten egg.
  • Place the top puff pastry on top of the smoke salmon gently sealing the sides. Brush the top with the beaten egg.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 15 minutes at 375F/190C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your puff pastry from 12 minutes). It is ready when the pastry has puffed and is golden. NOTE: Time may differ depending on the size of your number.
  • Once your Festive Italian Herbs Potato Gratin is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 15 minutes: This will allow the cheese to settle. When ready, serve it with your favorite main course. Bon Appétit & Happy Holidays!
