With Christmas fast approaching and Christmas parties seemingly every night, there's a constant need of a multitudinous variety of canapés! Personally the easier the canapé the better at this time of the year when there are so many other things to do! This is my ultimate quick and delicious canapé...
INGREDIENTS
- 100g cream cheese
- 2 tbsp pesto
- 375g sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg (beaten)
METHOD
1. Combine the cream cheese and pesto together in a small bowl.
2. Lightly flour the worktop and roll out the puff pastry. Cut the pastry in half lenthways so you are left with two rectangles.
3. Spread the pesto and cream cheese mix over one half of the pastry and place the other piece of pastry on top like a sandwich and then cut this in half lengthways again to create 2 long rectangles.
4. Divide each rectangle into short strips, around 1cm wide.
5. Twist each of the individual pastry strips and place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Brush with beaten egg and then pop them into the oven at 200 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.
Once the time is up simply take them out of the oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
This is one of my favourite canapés to make as it's so quick and easy and is always a crowd pleaser. You can personalise this as much or as little as you like, the options for this really are endless.
