Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. You should have 8 squares in total.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.
Add the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese to the scrambled eggs and mix gently to combine.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the ham and egg mixture into the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the corners of each square towards the center, gently pinching them together to seal. Place the folded puffs on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the pastry squares for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
