Instructions
- In a food processor, blend basil, pine nuts, parmesan, olive oil, and lemon juice until it forms a chunky pesto.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet in half, then fold each piece in half again for a double layer. Lay each piece flat like a diamond.
- Spoon pesto down the centre of the pastry, then layer on some cheese and ham.
- Fold the two outer corners into the middle so they just touch. Press gently to seal.
- Brush the pastry with whisked egg for that golden shine ✨.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly before devouring (if you can wait that long)!
