I’m a foodie and here’s how to make my Christmas tear and share – and it’s perfect for breakfast
CHRISTMAS Day is the perfect time to add a bit of extra sparkle to your breakfast.
We all want something a bit special for our loved ones on the big day.
Luckily, a food blogger has come up with a great recipe to make a popular Christmas tree tear and share slightly differently.
The creation usually involves a pack of ready-made puff pastry and chocolate spread which is twisted to form the shape of a Christmas tree.
However, Instagram user Sarah uses a different type of pastry to make it a typical breakfast favourite.
In a video, she says: “Here it is, what we all want to wake up to on Christmas morning is my Nutella Christmas tree.
“I’ve seen loads of these on the internet but I do a couple of things differently.”
The food fan explains that she uses croissant dough rather than puff pastry as it’s “better for breakfast”.
Sarah offered up another great hack to viewers when it comes to cutting the lines out to twist.
She said: “When I cut the little bits at the side, I use scissors because it’s so much easier than using a knife.”
The best thing about the creation is that it can all be prepped the night before meaning no faff on Christmas morning.
“You can also prepare this on Christmas Eve, leave it in the fridge and put it in the oven on Christmas morning.
“It’s so easy to make,” Sarah told her Instagram followers.
The food blogger finishes off her prep by putting an egg wash over the top to ensure it goes nice and crispy.
She instructs viewers to put it in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes.
“It should be looking crispy and golden when it comes out of the oven,” she shares.
It’s served on a baking sheet and presented on a wooden chopping board.
To make it look even more special, she sprinkles some icing sugar and raspberries on top.
