Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Stir to combine.

Cut the dough into four equal rectangles. Place a slice of ham and a quarter cup of cheddar cheese in the center of each rectangle.

Fold the edges of each rectangle over the filling to close the pastry. Seal the edges by pressing down gently or using a fork.
