Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the cream cheese and pesto into a bowl and mix well.

  • step 2

    Unroll the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut in half lengthways. Spread the pesto mix over one half, pop the other piece of pastry on top to create a sandwich, then cut in half lengthways to create 2 long rectangles. Divide each rectangle into short strips, about 1cm thick. Twist each pastry strip and place on a baking tray lined with parchment.

  • step 3

    Brush with egg and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden brown.

question

Are you able to put ham, Pepperoni etc in them as well?

You can pretty much cook that with anything as long as the meat is cut. Before you stuff the pastry

I'd also like to know if these can be frozen or how long they'll keep ahead of the big day

Hi Lucy, Yes you can freeze these ahead. You can freeze them once they have cooled, refresh them in a hot oven for a couple of minutes before serving. I hope this helps.

These were delicious and so easy. Could not make them look like picture but made them into bow ties and they were fab.
