Packed with flavour, texture and festive colour, this (mostly) store-bought appetizer can be an indulgent treat to others—and to yourself.
Ingredients
- 450 g pkg Sobey's Compliments Frozen Butter puff pastry
- 1/4 cup Sobey's Compliments pesto
- 1/4 cup finely grated pecorino-romano cheese
- freshly ground pepper , to season
Instructions
- Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 425F. Line two baking sheets with foil. Working with one pastry sheet at a time, unroll a thawed puff pastry sheet onto counter. Spread pesto evenly over sheet. Sprinkle over cheese. Season with pepper. Press gently.
- Cut pastry into 1/2-in. strips. Twist the two ends of each strip in opposite directions a few times, then lay strips on prepared sheets, 1 in. apart.
