Ham And Cheese Puffed Pastry

Ham And Cheese Puffed Pastry

This is another great way to use leftover ham, though I prefer the deli-sliced variety. These ham and cheese puffed pastries are loved by my kids and their friends and can be served for breakfast or lunch. You can easily transform this dish into a delicious dinner treat by preparing a side of fries and salad. These buttery, flaky pastries filled with ham and cheese will turn those leftover ham problems into a great-tasting meal solution.

Ingredients
  

Puff Pastry

  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 1¼ cup butter (unsalted)
  • ½ cup water (cold)

Filling

  • ham slices
  • cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 2 eggs (to be used as an egg wash)

Instructions
 

Puff Pastry

  • In a food processor, combine two cups of Bisquick with one and one-quarter cups of cold butter and pulse until crumbly.
  • Add one-half cup of cold water and continue pulsing until the mixture forms a ball. Do not over-process.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly Bisquick floured surface and form into a rectangle. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten with a rolling pin. Roll several times until the dough resembles a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  • Peel the plastic from the dough and fold in thirds to make a 6x18 rectangle.
  • Fold the dough from one of the six-inch ends over to make a square.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before using.

Assembly

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly Bisquick floured surface. Cut into 2x2 inch squares.
  • Prepare the egg wash by beating two eggs in a small bowl until frothy and brush along the seam of each square.
  • Place a slice of ham into each square followed by a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and press down to seal the seams. Continue doing the same with each square.
  • Bake for twenty minutes and remove from the oven. Brush each of the pastries with the remaining egg wash and bake for an additional ten minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy.
