Ingredients

• A roll of puff pastry
• 200 g of ham
• 150 g of fresh Pecorino Toscano PDO thin slices
• One egg yolk
• Sesame seeds to taste

Preparation

Roll out the puff pastry on the work surface and cut out some stars using a star-shaped cookie cutter.

Do the same with ham and Pecorino Toscano PDO.

Compose the stars: place the first star of puff pastry, then one of ham and, finally, one of cheese, then cover it with another star of puff pastry.

Seal the edges well, careful not to ruin the shape. Brush the stars’ surface with the egg yolk, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

The puff pastry stars with ham and Pecorino Toscano PDO should be baked in a preheated oven at 180° C for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve the puff pastry stars warm.
