Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

17.3 oz (1/2 pkg) puff pastry sheet, thawed
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
1/2 lb deli ham, cooked & sliced
1/2 lb deli turkey breast, cooked & sliced
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

Roll the pastry sheet into a 16x12-inch rectangle. With the short side facing you, layer the ham and turkey on the bottom half of the pastry to within 1 inch of the edge. Sprinkle with the cheese. Starting at the short side, roll up like a jelly roll. Place seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Tuck the ends under to seal. Brush with the egg mixture. 3.Bake for 25 minutes or until the stromboli is golden brown. Remove the stromboli from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. ENJOY!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right puff pastry: Use a good quality puff pastry that is made with butter, not margarine. This will ensure that your ham and cheese puffs are flaky and delicious.
  • Don't overfill the pastry: When adding the ham and cheese filling, be careful not to overfill the pastry. This will make it difficult to seal the puffs and they may burst open during baking.
  • Chill the puffs before baking: Before baking the puffs, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the pastry to set and prevent it from becoming too puffy.
  • Bake the puffs until they are golden brown: Bake the puffs in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious, crispy crust.

Ham and cheese puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a quick and tasty treat.
