Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Low-fat puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Low-fat ham slices
- 150 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 1 whole Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the low-fat puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any folds and to stretch it slightly.
Slice the puff pastry sheet into equal squares, around 4x4 inches each.
Place a slice of low-fat ham and a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on each square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the ham and cheese.
In a small bowl, beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the egg wash, then fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal.
Using a fork, crimp the edges of the pastry to further seal and create a decorative edge.
Brush the tops of the pastries with more egg wash.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet leaving some space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
