Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your countertop with flour and unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll each sheet slightly to smooth and extend them into a larger rectangle.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 even squares, resulting in a total of 24 squares.
Place the puff pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each piece.
Spoon a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of pizza sauce onto the center of each square and gently spread it without reaching the edges.
Top the sauce with a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by a piece of diced ham and a pineapple chunk.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each pastry square.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the edges of the puff pastry are golden brown and crispy.
Optional: Sprinkle dried oregano over the freshly baked appetizers for extra flavor.
Allow the appetizers to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
