Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pockets Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the reduced-fat puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one half of each rectangle (if using).
- Add a layer of ham and sprinkle shredded reduced-fat cheese on top. Season with black pepper if desired.
- Fold the other half of the puff pastry rectangle over the filling to create a pocket.
- Seal the edges by pressing with a fork to ensure the filling stays inside.
- Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
