Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out into a 12x12 inch square using a rolling pin.
Step 3
Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal squares and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (about ½ teaspoon) onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 5
Place a slice of Swiss cheese over the mustard on each square, folding it slightly to fit if necessary.
Step 6
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Step 7
Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden finish.
Step 8
Sprinkle a light pinch of black pepper over the Swiss cheese for added flavor.
Step 9
Bake the puff pastry squares in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
