Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden skewers in water.

Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a flat surface. Layer the ham slices over the pastry, followed by the cheese slices.

Using a pizza cutter, slice the pastry lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips.

Take one strip and fold it back and forth in an accordion style, starting with wider folds at the bottom and getting narrower at the top to form a tree shape.

Insert a skewer through the center of the folded pastry tree to hold it in place. Place on the baking sheet.

Brush the tops generously with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

Garnish with a star topper and fresh parsley before serving.
