Preparing Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Bites
Before diving into the process, let’s talk about how simple and straightforward this recipe is. You’ll roll out the puff pastry, fill it up with your delicious filling, and bake until golden brown. It’s that easy!
What you’ll need
- 1 package puff pastry (thawed)
- 8 slices ham (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Feel free to get creative with the cheese; mozzarella works great too! If you’re looking to make it a little lighter, try using turkey or chicken in place of ham.
