Ingredients

• 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
• Store-bought pesto
• Prosciutto slices

Preparation

Step 1

Cut puff pastry into 3 strips, then cut crosswise into 6 rectangles. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then split. Spread the bottoms with pesto, top with prosciutto and cover with the pastry tops.

PESTO RECIPE:

2 cups basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Using a food processor, finely chop the basil and garlic. Add the parmesan and pine nuts and pulse into a coarse paste. With the machine on, slowly add the olive oil until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.)
