HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS



Ham and Cheese Puffs image

My family used to make these for special occasions, or random visitors! Basically a gougere! They can be baked and frozen then just brought out and thrown in a toaster oven when needed! Sometimes I like a stronger mustard taste so I double the dry mustard. I'm guessing at the amount of servings as I don't think I've ever made a single batch of this recipe - haha.

  • Let the puff pastry cups cool slightly before serving. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the puff pastry cups with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
