Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread the basil pesto on one sheet and sprinkle over the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Top with the other pastry sheet. Cut the puff pastry into 2½cm-thick strips. Fold the strips into Christmas tree shapes and insert a skewer in the centre.
3
Place the pastry trees on the baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
4
Using a small star cookie cutter, cut stars out of the Cheddar slices.
5
When the pastry trees come out of the oven, allow them to cool on a rack and then add the cheese stars to the top of the skewer.
