Easy Ham and Cheese Puffs
Description
This recipe combines thawed puff pastry sheets cut into rectangles, each filled with small chunks of cooked ham and cheese. The corners are folded toward the center and pressed to seal the filling inside. An egg wash adds shine and promotes browning when baked. The option to sprinkle toppings such as sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning enhances the texture and flavor of the crust.
Cooking in a conventional oven at 350°F for around 20-25 minutes or using an air fryer for 10-15 minutes produces golden-brown puffs with a flaky, crisp exterior and a warm, savory interior. They provide a rich combination of salty ham and melted cheese inside each bite.
Serve these puffs as finger food or appetizers, paired well with a dipping sauce like honey mustard. Their ease of preparation and compact size make them suitable for casual gatherings or quick snacks.
