Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup Cooked ham, finely diced
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions. Once pliable, lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the sheets to ensure even thickness.

Step 3

Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut 12 circles from the puff pastry. Place these circles into the cups of a standard muffin tin, pressing gently to create tart shells.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, diced ham, Dijon mustard, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ham and cheese mixture into each tart shell, slightly mounding the filling.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash to promote a golden, flaky finish.

Step 8

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Little Ham and Cheese Tarts!
