Quick meal for lazy people, I could eat puff pastry with ham and cheese all the time.
Ingredients:
2 sheets of puff pastry, refrigerated section
3 tbsp sour cream
80 g ham, about 4 slices
100 g cheese (e.g., Maasdam)
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Preparation:
1. First, preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) using the convection setting and carefully unroll the ready-made puff pastry from the refrigerated section.
2.Then spread the entire sheet of puff pastry with cream cheese. Now top the puff pastry with ham and then cheese by arranging the whole slices on the pastry.
3. Next, place the second sheet of puff pastry on top and cut the filled pastry into several small pieces. I used a pizza cutter for this. After that, you can also use a sharp knife.
4. As a topping, you can also sprinkle some sesame seeds over the puff pastry. Next, the puff pastry goes into the oven and bakes for about 18-20 minutes, depending on the desired level of browning.
