Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Begin by unrolling the puff pastry on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, slice the pastry into 4 large triangles. Then, divide each triangle into 4 smaller sections, resulting in a total of 16 wedges. -
-
Fill the Cornetti:
Place a small piece of smoked salmon and a touch of grated orange zest onto the base of each pastry wedge. You can also add a small piece of brie cheese for extra creaminess and flavor. -
Shape the Cornetti:
Starting from the wider end of each wedge, carefully roll the pastry up into a tight cone shape, forming a small “cornetto.” Continue rolling until all 16 pieces are shaped. -
Prepare the Egg Wash:
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to create a smooth egg wash. Brush this mixture generously over the top of each cornetto to give them a golden, glossy finish once baked. -
Add Seeds for Texture:
Sprinkle sesame and poppy seeds on top of the egg-washed cornetti to add an extra crunch and a beautiful golden-brown color. -
Bake the Cornetti:
Place the prepared cornetti onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is some space between each piece. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked to perfection, remove the cornetti from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving as a delightful, elegant appetizer at your next gathering!
