Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 pound black forest ham, sliced
1/2 pound Swiss Gruyere cheese, sliced
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
  • Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and carefully roll it out to 10 by 12 inches. Place it on a sheet pan and brush the center with the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place a layer first of ham and then cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.

Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted*
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ pound black forest ham, thinly sliced
½ pound Gruyère cheese, grated
1 egg
flour for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 F.
  • To make the egg wash, lightly beat an egg with 1 tbsp. of water. Set aside.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper onto your work surface and dust lightly with flour.
  • Lay one sheet of puff pastry on top of the paper.
  • Using the back of a teaspoon, brush the dough with mustard leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Use a ruler if necessary.
  • Staying within the border, add the sliced ham in overlapping layers.
  • Add the cheese.
  • Brush the border with some of the egg wash to create a seal.
  • Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the filled pastry lining up the edges.
  • Using a sharp knife, trim the dough so that the edges line up and the square is even. It's just like cutting the crust off of a sandwich. Make sure to cut the dough in a swift downward motion (think paper slicer). If you drag your knife, it will not rise properly. Press down lightly.
  • Brush the top with more egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Transfer the dough to a baking sheet by lifting up the parchment paper.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes and cut into squares (about 12-16 depending how large you want them).
  • Serve hot.
