These elegant Puff Pastry Spoons with Cheese and Salmon are a creative appetizer made by shaping puff pastry around metal spoons to form edible spoons. Once baked until golden and crispy, they are filled with creamy cheese and topped with delicate smoked salmon roses and a touch of fresh herbs. They are perfect for parties, buffets, or special occasions because they look sophisticated but are surprisingly easy to make.

Preparation Method
Preparation Method
1. Prepare the pastry
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Using a spoon as a guide, cut oval shapes slightly larger than the spoon bowl.
2. Shape the pastry spoons
Place the pastry ovals over the back of metal spoons, gently pressing them so they take the spoon shape.
Arrange the spoons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Add egg wash
Mix the egg yolk and milk together.
Brush the pastry lightly with this mixture to give it a golden color.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
