Roll out the shortcrust pastry about 3 mm thick. Cut small stars if desired and slice into rectangles. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tbsp water and brush over the dough. Sprinkle half with black sesame, the other half with white sesame. Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, cool, then cut horizontally in half.

Whisk the cream cheese with parsley until creamy. Take out a good portion of it. Dice the salami, mix into the cream cheese, season with salt and pepper. Spread over half of the pastry pieces. Wash, trim and slice the spring onion into thin rings. Sprinkle over the cream cheese and place the sesame‑topped cover back on.
