Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 tablespoon of a 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets (1 sheet), thawed
  • 8 tablespoon thin slices deli black forest ham
  • 4 slice deli swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees 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.

Tips:

Easy Substitution: For a savory twist, serve with Dijon-style mustard instead of the maple syrup.
