12 Days of Christmas Appetizers Pt 4 🎅

Chive Pesto & Feta Wreath

1 x sheet puff pastry
1/4 x cup pesto (I used Chive)
200g feta crumbled
2 x tomatoes & 1 garlic clove chopped and drained
1 x egg for brushing
Sesame seeds
Drizzle of honey (optional)

Chive pesto:
In the processor or hand blender blend:
(Give it a mix once or twice during blending)
30g x chives
30g Basil
2 x garlic cloves
1/2 x lemon juiced
1/2 x cup grated Parmesan
3 x Tbs of pine nuts
1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil (depending taste)
Salt and pepper

If you don’t use all of it the rest can be storied in the fridge for up to 3 days and it’s wonderful with some nice pasta 🫶

Preheat oven to 190C

Mix your pesto together then start by chopping your tomatoes and garlic and season with salt and pepper, drain the juice after 5 min, roll out your puff pastry on a sheet of greaseproof paper and spread your pesto, feta and tomatoes and roll it up vertically. Make diagonal cuts in the roll ONLY about 2/3 down then squish down the parts in the middle with a stick type object as shown in the reel. I used a straw but chopstick would work. Shape into a circle and pinch the two ends to join them together.
Brush with egg wash add sesame seeds lift the paper with the ring into a baking dish and stick in oven.

Bake for 45-50min

Drizzle some honey over the pastry while it’s hot.

Enjoy D
