Savoury Christmas Wreaths

Hello #LoyalRoyals

I’m changing-up the traditional Christmas line-up this year in favour of recipes that I’ll cook along with my family that will ‘spark joy’. (Yes, I’m a total Marie Kondo groupie).

These savoury Christmas wreaths tick those two boxes and more. Serve straight from the oven with your favourite dips like our Pesto Princess Hummus and Tzatziki in the centre.

You’ll need

1 roll of ready-made puff pastry
3 Tbsp Pesto Princess Basil & Chilli Pesto
2 Tbsp Pesto Princess Sundried Tomato Pesto
230 g cream cheese
100 g goats cheese
50 g olives, chopped
1 egg for egg wash

To serve

Choose your favourite dips. We chose Pesto Princess Hummus and Pesto Princess Tzatziki.

Makes 2 small ± 20 cm wreaths

How to

1. Line a baking tray and place the pastry onto the baking paper. Roll out the pastry and cut it into a circular shape. We managed to get two wreaths out of one roll of pastry.

2. Press a small glass in the centre to make a gentle impression on the pastry which you’ll use as a guide. Make four cuts across the circle to create a star in the centre – you will use these flaps to fold over the filling later.

3. In a medium-size bowl, combine the goats cheese and cream cheese and mix until soft and spreadable. Add the Pesto Princess Basil & Chilli Pesto to the mixture and mix well to combine.

4. Divide the cheese mixture and spread half along the edge of one pastry circle, leaving a 2cm border and the other half on the other pastry circle.

5. Top one with chopped olives, the other with Pesto Princess Sundried Tomato Pesto. Take a point from the centre of the star, fold to the outer edge and tuck in. Repeat until all flaps are covering the filling.
