Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Diced cooked ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, typically for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined into a cohesive filling.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to eliminate any fold lines. Cut each sheet into four equal squares for a total of eight squares.
Step 5
Spoon an even amount of the ham and cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square, being careful not to overfill.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Step 7
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash. Fold one corner of the square to the opposite corner to create a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Step 8
Transfer the sealed poofs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
