Method

  1. To make the Parmesan Snowflake Appetizers, start by unrolling the sheet of puff pastry and use a snowflake-shaped cutter to cut out as many snowflakes as you can

  2. In a bowl, beat an egg yolk with a little milk, then brush it over all the snowflakes. Sprinkle half the snowflakes with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and the other half with paprika. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C (400 °F) for 15-20 minutes or until nicely golden.
