To make these small pastry trees, you will need a few simple ingredients. You will need some puff pastry, prosciutto, cheese, and some fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme. You will also need some egg wash to glaze the pastry and some salt and pepper to season the cheese.
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out tree shapes using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife, then brush the surface of each tree shape with the egg wash.
Top each tree with a slice of prosciutto, then sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Finally, sprinkle some finely chopped herbs on top of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Bake the pastry trees for about 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately, while still warm and gooey.
