Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 4 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.75 cups Cooked ham, diced
- 0.75 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 batch Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into four equal rectangles, making a total of eight pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the egg mixture until just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the eight pieces of pastry, placing them on the mustard-coated half. Top each with a sprinkle of diced ham, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
Fold the empty half of each pastry rectangle over the filling to form a pocket. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal tightly.
Transfer the strudels to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Use a sharp knife to cut two small slits in the top of each strudel to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
