• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped ham, grated Gruyère cheese, cream cheese, and finely chopped onion. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into four equal triangles. You will have a total of 8 triangles.

Step 5

Place a tablespoon of the ham and cheese mixture near the base of each triangle.

Step 6

Carefully roll the pastry starting from the base towards the tip to form a crescent shape, encasing the filling inside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with one tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush each schinkengipfel with the egg wash to give it a golden glaze during baking.

Step 9

Place the schinkengipfel on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
