Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry sheet 8.6 oz, thawed but cold
  • 3 oz cheddar cheese cut into 12 small squares
  • 24 pretzel sticks
  • 6 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut pastry into 12 equal rectangles and space apart on the sheet.
  2. Bake 14–16 minutes until puffed and golden. Place a cheddar square on each and return to the oven for 1–2 minutes, until melted. Cool 5 minutes.
  3. Gently insert two pretzel sticks as antlers. Use cream cheese to attach a tomato-half nose and pipe two tiny eyes; add sesame seeds as pupils. Serve promptly.

Notes

Equipment: baking sheet.
Serving size: 1 puff.
Keep refrigerated until serving. Return to the refrigerator within 2 hours; use within 3–4 days.
Decorate just before serving so the pretzels stay crisp.
