Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams thinly sliced ham
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets. If the sheets are already rolled, ensure they're slightly thinner to create crispier turnovers.
Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, yielding a total of 24 squares.
Place a small slice of ham and a sprinkle (about a teaspoon) of shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of each square. Optionally, add a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to add a golden shine when baked.
Carefully transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your flaky and cheesy mini turnovers!
