Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry

Here’s a Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry recipe that’s flaky, savory, and super easy—great for snacks, brunch, or parties:

🥐 Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• 4–6 slices ham

• 1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyère work well)

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

• Optional: Dijon mustard or honey mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6–8 rectangles or squares.

3. Assemble: Spread a thin layer of mustard (if using), add ham, then sprinkle cheese on half of each piece.

4. Fold or top with another piece of pastry and press edges to seal with a fork.

5. Brush tops with egg wash for a golden finish.

6. Bake 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

7. Cool slightly before serving.

Easy variations

• Add sliced turkey instead of ham

• Sprinkle herbs or everything seasoning on top

• Add a little caramelized onion inside

If you want, I can share a crescent-roll version, air-fryer method, or a sweet-and-savory twist.
