Method

To make the Stuffed Puff Pastry Stars, start by carefully unrolling a rectangular sheet of puff pastry, then use a star-shaped cutter to cut out as many stars as you can.
In a bowl, beat the egg yolk well with a little milk, then brush it over all the pastry stars. Sprinkle them with a few sesame seeds and bake in a conventional oven preheated to 200 °C (400 °F) for about 15-20 minutes, or at least until they are nicely golden.
When the stars are fully baked and golden, take them out of the oven, let them cool and then cut them in half with a very sharp knife.
In a bowl, put the goat cheese, a grind of pepper, a pinch of salt and a little chopped chives, and mix well. Put the resulting cream in a piping bag, pipe a little onto each bottom half of the stars, then add one or two slices of cold cuts.
Add a few leaves of lamb’s lettuce and cover with the top half.
