Lay out a piece of semi-defrosted puff pastry.

Add a layer of sliced deli ham and then a layer of sliced cheese.

Place another piece of puff pastry on top and push down.

Slice into 8 equal strips. A pizza cutter is best for this if you have one.

Fold the pastry starting at the bottom, making it thicker, and slowly fold thinner to the top to make a tree shape.

Carefully push a skewer up through the puff pastry, leaving about 1 cm on the top to add the cheese star.

Place on a lined baking tray and in the oven at 200°c for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the puff pastry trees from the oven. Melt the butter and add the minced garlic and parsley. Brush the butter over the puff pastry trees while still warm.

Cut out the stars from some cheese using a star cutter. Place them on the top of each of the skewers and serve.
