For the Prosciutto, basil and parmesan puff pastry twists
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry thawed
- 4-6 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto depending on size
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil //or dried basil
- grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 220C (200C fan forced, 425F, Gas mark 7).
Sprinkle puff pastry sheet with basil. Layer proscuitto over the pastry, pressing down so that it sticks. Grate over some parmesan cheese.Cut pastry into 4 squares, then each square into 4 strips. Cut a 3cm long slit along the middle of each strip. Lift gently and thread the top of the pastry through the slit, then pull out toward the top to make each twist.
Place twists on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper and bake for about 7 minutes, or until risen and turning golden. Watch the time as they can overcook and burn quickly.
