Ham Cheese Puff Pastry (Printable Version)

Savory puff pastry filled with ham, Gruyère cheese, and Dijon mustard for a warm, flaky treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (17.3 oz)

→ Filling

02 - 10 oz sliced deli ham
03 - 8 oz Gruyère cheese slices
04 - 2.7 fl oz Dijon mustard (optional)

→ Finishing

05 - 1 large egg, whisked
06 - Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Remove puff pastry sheets from packaging and let thaw until pliable.
02 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
03 - Roll out each sheet slightly if needed. Slice each puff pastry sheet into six rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
04 - Brush the edges of each pastry rectangle with whisked egg, then spread Dijon mustard in the center.
05 - Place one slice of Gruyère cheese and a folded slice of ham onto the mustard center of each pastry piece.
06 - Lift one corner of the pastry towards the center and fold the opposite corner over to enclose the filling. Press edges gently to seal.
07 - Transfer pastries to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with remaining egg wash and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning if using.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until golden, puffed, and cheese is melted.
09 - Remove from oven and allow to cool briefly before serving warm.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For crispier pastry, ensure puff pastry is properly chilled before baking.
