Ingredients

Scale

1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
4–6 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
4–6 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Optional: fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), mustard for dipping

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
Layer Ingredients: Place slices of ham and cheese evenly on top of the pastry.
Cut & Fold: Cut the pastry into strips. Fold each strip in half to encase the filling.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastry sticks with the beaten egg for a golden, crispy finish.
Bake: Arrange the sticks on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh herbs and serve with mustard for dipping.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like Gouda or provolone for extra flavor.
If you prefer a more golden finish, add a bit of parmesan cheese to the top before baking.
For a dairy-free version, substitute plant-based cheese and use dairy-free puff pastry.
