Serve warm with mustard, aioli, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
These are best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to regain crispiness—avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
Variations:
Swap ham for turkey, salami, or cooked bacon.
Use cream cheese or pesto spread beneath the ham for extra flavor.
Add thin slices of tomato or spinach for a veggie boost.
Create mini versions using smaller pastry squares for bite-sized party snacks.
FAQ:
Can I make this appetizer ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the pastries a few hours in advance and keep them chilled. Bake just before serving.
Can I freeze them?
Yes, freeze unbaked pastries on a tray, then transfer to a bag or container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What kind of cheese works best?
Any melty cheese works well—Swiss, cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda are great choices.
Do I have to use an egg wash?
No, but it gives the pastry a beautiful golden finish. You can substitute with milk if desired.
