Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the puff pastry sheet out of the freezer and allow it to thaw for 5-10 minutes until pliable but still cold.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the teaspoon of water to create an egg wash, and set it aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly fry the slice of Spam for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly on a plate.
Lay the puff pastry sheet flat on a clean surface. Place the cooked Spam slice in the center of the pastry.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the Spam slice. If using, sprinkle the chopped green onion and a pinch of black pepper over the cheese.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the Spam and cheese to create a sealed package. Pinch the edges gently to ensure it stays closed while baking.
Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with the egg wash to give it a golden finish when baked.
Transfer the wrapped puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Solo Spam Puff!
