How to Make Ham Cheese Pockets

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry (14.1 oz) on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Cut the pastry into nine 4-inch squares. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
  4. Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each pastry square.
  5. Top each square with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Add 2 slices of cooked ham (approx. 2 oz total) to each cheese-topped square.
  7. Fold each pastry square in half diagonally, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork.
  8. Place pastries 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Whisk 1 large egg and brush lightly over each pastry.
  10. Pierce the top of each pastry with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape.
  11. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
