Let’s Make it Together
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking while ensuring easy cleanup.
Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten it out slightly, making it easier to cut into squares.
Cut Into Squares: Slice the dough into even squares, about 4×4 inches each. You can use a pizza cutter for straight lines—it’s like being in culinary school but without the tuition!
Add Ham and Cheese: Place a slice of ham and a small piece of cheese in the center of each square. Don’t skimp here! Remember, gooey is good.
Wrap It Up: Fold the corners of each square over the filling and pinch them together tightly to seal. You want these little pockets of joy completely enclosed—no one likes spillage!
Create an Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together one egg with a splash of water. Brush this mixture over each roll for that coveted golden finish when they bake.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Pop those beauties into your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed up like little pillows of happiness.
Let cool slightly before serving so you don’t burn your tongue on molten cheese—the last thing we need is another trip to the ER!
