Ingredients
- 2 sheets low sodium puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 6 ounces low sodium cooked ham
- 1 cup swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon low sodium mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases. Cut each sheet into six squares, making a total of 12 squares.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth paste.
Step 4
Fold in the low sodium ham, swiss cheese, low sodium mustard, parsley, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is just melted and the ingredients are well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ham and cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 6
Fold each square into a triangle and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to create an egg wash.
Step 8
Brush the tops of each pastry triangle lightly with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish.
Step 9
Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
