ingredients
- 2 puff pastry
- 6 slices cooked ham
- 1 cup Philadelphia cream chese
- 1 egg beaten
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat sheet.
Step 3
Roll out the puff pastry until is doubled in size and thin. Cut in 3 ½ -4-inch strips
Step 4
Slice each ham slice into 3 lengthwise strips.
Step 5
Leaving ¼ inch space on the outer edges of the puff pastry, spread it with the help of a small spatula, the cream cheese. Add on top of it the cooked ham.
Step 6
Gently roll over one side of the puff pastry sheet, tucking in the ham, and give it a second turn until you meet the end of the cheese mixture and have the ¼ inch exposed. You should have the ham-cheese mixture rolled in. Wet the ¼ inch puff pastry with water and seal by gently pressing down.
Step 7
Cut into 1 to 1 ½ inch diagonal pieces. Place on a baking sheet 1 inch away from each other.
Step 8
Brush all over the pastry with the beaten egg and place in the warm oven.
Step 9
Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is nicely golden. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes and serve.
