Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of deli ham (thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 package of puff pastry sheets (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard (optional for added flavor)
  • Garlic powder (optional, for extra seasoning)
  • Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry

If using store-bought puff pastry, make sure it’s thawed and ready to go. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a clean, flat surface. Use a rolling pin to slightly flatten the pastry to an even thickness. Cut each sheet into rectangles (about 4 inches by 6 inches, depending on your preferred size for the sticks).

Step 2: Assemble the Ham and Cheese Sticks

Place a slice of ham in the center of each rectangle of puff pastry. On top of the ham, place a slice of cheese. If you’d like, spread a little mustard on the cheese before adding the ham for an extra burst of flavor. You can also sprinkle some garlic powder or seasonings of your choice on top of the cheese for added flavor.

Step 3: Roll and Seal
