03 - A pinch of salt.
04 - 125 g of cold butter, diced.
05 - Fresh parsley or chives.
06 - 200 g of crème fraîche.

10 - 5-6 tablespoons of cold water.

07 - Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the stars are crispy and the cheese is golden brown.

# Notes:

02 - You can make these mini treats ahead of time and warm them back up in the oven before serving.
