Ingredients
- 8 oz. pitted California prunes
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 3/4 cup deli ham, diced small
- 4.4 oz. brie cheese, diced small
- 1 egg yolk
- balsamic glaze for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Blend the prunes and hot water in a food processor or high powered blender until smooth. Add more hot water if needed to get a good smooth consistency. Set aside.
- Dice the ham and cheese.
- Roll out the thawed pastry dough on a lightly floured surface into a square and then cut into smaller squares. I just follow the lines as a guide. You’ll have 9 squares per pastry sheet.
- Spread with about 1-2 tsp. of the prune paste and top with ham and cheese.
- Dab one corner with egg yolk using a brush. Fold the opposite corner over the filling first, then fold the corner with the egg yolk over it and press down to bond. (see video for guidance)
- Place on a prepared baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining squares.
- Brush the tops of each folded pastry with the remaining egg.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until deep golden brown and puffed.
- Serve warm with balsamic glaze, if desired.

Notes
- To reheat any leftovers: place in the oven at 350°F and bake until warmed through, about 5-10 minutes.
