Ingredients

• 1 package Reduced-fat puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Low-fat cooked ham
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 1 large Egg white
• 50 grams Grated low-fat cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the reduced-fat puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheet into equal-sized triangles (approximately 8 per puff pastry sheet).

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to blend the flavors.

Step 4

Take one triangle of puff pastry and spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on the wide end.

Step 5

Place a slice of low-fat cooked ham on top of the cream cheese mixture. Roll the pastry from the wide end towards the tip to form a crescent shape.

Step 6

Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg white until slightly frothy. Lightly brush the tops of each schinkengipfel with the egg white.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated low-fat cheese over the crescents.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat schinkengipfel warm or at room temperature.
