Ham and Cheese Pastry (Pasteles de Jamon y Queso)
Pasteles de jamon y queso are very popular in Colombia. It is simply ham and cheese baked inside puff pastry. You can make one large pastry like mine if you plan on eating it like a sandwich. The other option would be to cut the puff pastry sheet into smaller squares and make mini pastries.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 slices mozzarella
- 4 slices ham
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet.
- Place 2 slices of mozzarella on the right half of the sheet.
- Place the ham on top of the mozzarella.
- Place the last 2 pieces of mozzarella on top of the ham.
- Fold the sheet over, crimping then tucking the outer edge.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Brush the entire outside of the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 15 minutes until the outside is golden brown.
