Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 6 oz sliced ham (preferably deli-style or smoked)
- 6 oz shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or a mix)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley, optional for garnish)
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan oven) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, ensuring it is evenly thick, about 3-5 mm.
- Cut the puff pastry into even strips about 5 cm wide.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the puff pastry strips, if using.
- Place a slice of ham and a generous amount of shredded cheese on each puff pastry strip.
- Fold the pastry strips in half over the filling, overlapping the edges slightly. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Prepare the egg wash by whisking the egg with the milk. Brush the tops of each pastry stick generously with the egg wash.
- Place the filled pastry sticks on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
