Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Let the puff pastry sheets thaw slightly at room temperature (about 10 minutes), until pliable but still cold.
3. Finely chop the cooked ham and place it in a mixing bowl.
4. Add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the ham. Mix well until evenly combined.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth the edges and make it slightly larger. Cut it into 12 equal squares (about 6cm x 6cm each). Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet to total 24 squares.
6. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the ham mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
7. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
8. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
9. Lightly brush the tops of the ham puffs with the egg wash.
10. Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
12. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
13. Optional: Sprinkle the Mini Ham Puffs with finely chopped parsley for a fresh finish before serving.
