Ingredients
- 2 puff pastry sheet thawed
- 6 ham cooked, slices
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat sheet.
- Roll out the puff pastry until is doubled in size and thin. Cut in 3 ½ -4-inch strips.
- Slice each ham slice into 3 lengthwise strips.
- Leaving ¼ inch space on the outer edges of the puff pastry, spread it with the help of a small spatula, the cream cheese. Add on top of it the cooked ham.
- Gently roll over one side of the puff pastry sheet, tucking in the ham, and give it a second turn until you meet the end of the cheese mixture and have the ¼ inch exposed. You should have the ham-cheese mixture rolled in. Wet the ¼ inch puff pastry with water and seal by gently pressing down.
- Cut into 1 to 1 ½ inch diagonal pieces. Place on a baking sheet 1 inch away from each other.
- Brush all over the pastry with the beaten egg and place in the warm oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is nicely golden. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes and serve.
