Number Of Ingredients 8

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoon flour
1 sheet puff pastry
8 slices deli ham
4 slices swiss cheese
2 teaspoons confectioners sugar
1 cup maple syrup

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
Sprinkle the flour on the work suface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Cut into 4 (6-inch) squares. Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg mixture.
With a corner of 1 pastry facing you, place 2 slices ham and 1 slice cheese on the bottom half of the pastry. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastries. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Sprinkle the pastries with the confectioners' sugar. Serve with the maple syrup.
