Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust a clean surface with flour, then roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to about ⅛ inch thickness.
Place one rolled pastry sheet on the baking sheet. Layer slices of ham and cheese over it, leaving a ½-inch border.
Cover with a second pastry sheet, pressing down on the edges and using a fork to crimp for a decorative border.
Whisk an egg and brush it generously over the top pastry layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.
