Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 slices deli ham
- 4 oz cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella), shredded
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: seasonings (e.g., pepper, garlic powder)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for that lovely bake.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s nice and even.
- Spread the softened cream cheese over the rolled-out puff pastry, creating a creamy layer.
- Layer the deli ham evenly across the cream cheese, followed by the shredded cheese. Feel free to sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or freshly cracked pepper for that extra zest!
- Carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log, ensuring the filling stays intact.
- Cut the rolled pastry into 1-inch slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring enough space between each piece.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve that delicious golden finish when baked.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are beautifully golden brown and flaky.
- Serve hot or cold, and enjoy these delightful bites as a snack or appetizer.
