Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Cooked ham
• 120 grams Cream cheese
• 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

2. Let the puff pastry sheets thaw slightly at room temperature (about 10 minutes), until pliable but still cold.

Step 3

Step 4

4. Add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the ham. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 5

Step 6

6. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the ham mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 7

7. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 8

8. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

9. Lightly brush the tops of the ham puffs with the egg wash.

Step 10

10. Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
