Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry

This easy Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry recipe is super easy and so satisfying! They look super impressive but are actually so easy to make.

1

MAKE ROUX

Preheat oven to 400F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt butter in a  saucepan over medium high heat. Add in flour and whisk for a minute or so then slowly add in the milk.

2

ADD CHEESE

Stir in the spices and continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese.

3

ADD SPINACH & HAM

Taste the cheese sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the cheese is melted add in the spinach and ham stirring until the spinach is wilted.

4

CUT PUFF PASTRY

Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared lined baking sheet and cut into 6 squares. Repeat with the other sheet of puff pastry.

5

FILL PUFF PASTRY

Divide the mixture between the puff pastry squares. I did about 1/4 cup or so in each. Fold up each edge of the pastry to cover most of the filling.

6

BAKE

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry looks golden brown. Allow it to cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet.

Serve these ham and cheese puff pastries with your favorite Dijon mustard for dipping! They make an excellent snack, appetizer or breakfast all on their own!
