Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Cooked ham, finely chopped
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Green onion, finely sliced
- 1 egg Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions until they are pliable. Once thawed, roll them out slightly on a floured surface to ensure even thickness.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped ham, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and green onion. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into 16 equal squares (for a total of 32 pieces).
Place about 1 teaspoon of the deviled ham mixture in the center of 16 squares. Be careful not to overfill.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares lightly with water to help them seal. Top with another square of puff pastry, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each puff with the egg wash.
Place the filled puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
