Puff Pastry Star Appetizer
Dec 13, 2025 12:46 PM
This puff pastry star appetizer is a stunning savory twist on the viral puff pastry star. Filled with creamy ricotta, prosciutto and melty mozzarella, it bakes into a golden, pull-apart antipasto for holiday entertaining.
The holiday season calls for something festive on the table, and this puff pastry star appetizer is a beautiful savory option for any gathering. Instead of a sweet pastry design like my puff pastry Christmas trees, this version is Italian-inspired and filled with ricotta, prosciutto and cheese that bake into crisp, golden layers with a soft, melty center.
If you enjoy the savory Christmas trees, this recipe is the perfect addition to your holiday appetizers. It has a beautiful Christmas star look with a rich flavor that disappears quickly at any party.
