Ingredients
- 17.3 ounce package puff pastry sheets 2 sheets thawed but cold
- 12 lices ham
- 12 lices Swiss cheese
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 large egg beaten
- sesame seeds flakey salt, or everything bagel seasoning (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Working with one pastry at a time, unfold a puff pastry sheet and place on a lightly floured flat surface.
- Roll it into approximately an 10x12” rectangle about ⅛” thick. I lightly flour the roller as well so the dough will not stick to it. (keep the other thawed pastry sheet in the refrigerator to stay cold)
- Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut each puff pastry into 6 even rectangles. (I cut it down the middle first and then in thirds in the other direction)
- Place each piece of pastry on the baking sheet.
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each rectangle.
- Place the arugula in a small bowl and drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over top and gently stir to coat it well.
- Add a little arugula to the top of each slice of cheese.
- Fold one set of opposite corners so that they overlap each other and gently press down to keep closed.
- Brush the top of each puff with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning or coarse salt
- Repeat the above steps with the other sheet of puff pastry.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy as is or dip in ranch dressing, mustard or honey mustard (make your own honey mustard with ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup regular or Dijon mustard)
Notes
- Substitute phyllo dough or croissant dough for the puff pastry.2. Use baby spinach or watercress instead of arugula.3. Use a different cheese. Swap out the Swiss for any cheddar cheese, gruyere, American cheese, mozzarella, feta cheese, goat cheese or even brie.4. Swap out the ham for prosciutto or salami.
