1 box (2 sheets) puff pastry dough
8oz jar pesto
egg, beaten
On parchment paper, roll out first sheet of puff pastry until it is roughly 11 x 13". Lay it on baking sheet. Spread jar of pesto out evenly keeping back from border about an inch.
Roll out second sheet of puff pastry and lay on top of pesto. Cut sections off the bottom to create a trunk and cut sides off to make a triangle shape.
Cut 1" tree branches up both sides of the tree being careful not to cut into trunk area. Twist each branch once. Use a star cookie cutter and some of the extra dough, if desired, to make a tree topper.
Brush with egg and bake at 375* for 12-15 minutes.
*Twist extra pieces you cut off and bake too! We added cherry tomatoes and mozzarella to our tree and loved it!
