Cheese and Ham Puff Pastry Bites
Cheese and ham puff pastry bites are filled with deli ham, Swiss cheese, and a creamy Dijon sauce in golden, crispy puff pastry sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff Pastry thawed
- 4-6 ounces Thinly Sliced Deli Ham sliced in half; use one half for each puff pastry
- 6 slices Swiss Cheese cut into 6 slices each
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning or Poppy Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Unfold each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 16 equal squares. Dock the dough by pricking the surface of each puff pastry square all over with a fork. This prevents them from puffing up too much and opening as they bake.
- Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the Dijon cream cheese mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a ½-inch border. Add a small slice of Swiss cheese. Fold the deli ham and place over the spread.
- In a small dish, whisk together the egg and water. Use the egg wash to help moisten and seal the pastry square as you fold two opposite corners to overlap in the center.
- Brush egg wash over the tops of the turnovers. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until deeply golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
