Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Diced cooked ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, typically for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined into a cohesive filling.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to eliminate any fold lines. Cut each sheet into four equal squares for a total of eight squares.
Spoon an even amount of the ham and cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square, being careful not to overfill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash. Fold one corner of the square to the opposite corner to create a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Transfer the sealed poofs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
