How to prepare the puff pastry star:

Unroll the puff pastry

2nd step
Spread the well-drained ricotta with the whey on the disk of dough

Step 3
At the end you should obtain a homogeneous and uniform layer

Step 4
Cut the puff pastry with a knife, leaving a few cm from the center and cut out 8 segments

Step 5
Place a Slice of Meat at the base of each segment

Step 6
Arrange 1/2 slice of chopped scamorza on the meat

Step 7
Fold the dough over the filling into a triangle, starting at one edge.

Step 8
Proceed in the same way on the other side, matching the two edges of the dough and sealing them well with your fingertips.

Step 9
Divide each segment in half, this time starting from the center of the dough and reaching within 1 cm of the filling.

Step 10
Fold the end of each corner inward, overlapping it with the ricotta.

Step 11
Seal the dough with the olives

Step 12
Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes

Step 13
It smells like peeled dried oregano

Step 14
Brush the dough with the egg yolk lightly beaten with the milk.

Step 15

Step 16
Sprinkle with sesame seeds

Step 17
Place the puff pastry star with baking paper on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 18
Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the puff pastry star from the oven.

Step 19
Arrange it on a serving plate and serve.

storage:
The puff pastry star can be kept in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, we suggest reheating it for a few minutes in the oven or on a hotplate: it will come back as fragrant as if it had just been taken out of the oven.

Here are small puff pastry spinach and ham baskets for a nice starter with a good salad or which can also be very suitable as a main course, especially in the evening for a light but tasty dinner!

Spinach is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. They are also very rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber.

This recipe allows you to make 6 large baskets or 8 smaller ones.
