Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 6 slices vegetarian ham slices
- 150 grams cheddar cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 2
Thaw the puff pastry sheets as per package instructions. Lightly dust your working surface with a tablespoon of flour to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to ensure they're even. Cut each pastry sheet into rectangles, about 10cm by 15cm, depending on original size.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Step 5
Lay out a puff pastry rectangle and place one slice of vegetarian ham on it. Spoon approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on top of the ham.
Step 6
Fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges gently and seal using the tines of a fork.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush this over the top of the sealed pastries.
Step 8
Place the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each piece.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with extra parsley before serving, if desired.
