Folhados de presunto e queijo

Ingredientes

• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 sheet puff pastry (about 10 ounces or 285g)
• 6 slices ham
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (150g)
• thyme leaves (optional)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Roll out the puff pastry slightly into a rectangle, then cut into 6 squares (if it's already in a rectangle shape, leave it as is). Place each square on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Place a slice of ham on each square, then spread about 3-4 teaspoons of the sauce on the ham, top with shredded cheese, and sprinkle with thyme leaves.

5. 5

   Bring the four edges of each puff pastry square together towards the center and thoroughly pinch them together in the middle.

6. 6

   Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush the pastries with the mixture.

7. 7

   Bake for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes or until deeply golden (keep an eye on the pastries at the end of the baking time making sure they don't get too dark).

8. 8

   Enjoy!
