Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams thinly sliced ham
• 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets. If the sheets are already rolled, ensure they're slightly thinner to create crispier turnovers.

Step 3

Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, yielding a total of 24 squares.

Step 4

Place a small slice of ham and a sprinkle (about a teaspoon) of shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of each square. Optionally, add a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 5

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork to seal.

Step 6

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to add a golden shine when baked.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your flaky and cheesy mini turnovers!
