Ingredients

Compound Butter

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons ground thyme
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

Pastry

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
  • ½ cup (56.5 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Compound Butter

  • To a medium bowl, add the butter, rosemary, thyme, salt and bacon. Stir to combine. Set aside while you prepare the pastry

Pastry

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the butter mixture in a triangular tree shape over the puff pastry.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella over the butter mixture.
  • Place the second puff pastry sheet on top. Gently press the pastry sheet down to feel where the outline of the tree shaped butter and cheese is. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut along the edges of the tree shape. Remove the excess pastry.
  • Leaving about 2 inches in the center of the tree intact for the "trunk", carefully cut horizontal strips up the tree on both sides of the "trunk" (about 2 inches wide). These strips will be the "branches".
  • Carefully twist each "branch" of pastry away from you about 2-3 times.
  • Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the pastry.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
