Description
Crispy layers of buttery pastry twist around salty ham and gooey cheddar, creating golden sticks with a warm, cheesy pull. Brushed with glossy egg wash, they bake up puffy and irresistible for quick snacks or party bites.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll gently to smooth out creases.
- Cut the pastry into eight equal strips.
- Lay one slice of ham and one slice of cheddar cheese on each pastry strip.
- Roll each strip tightly from one end to the other and twist slightly to form a stick.
- Beat the egg with water to create an egg wash and brush it over each stick.
- Arrange the sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ham with prosciutto or turkey for a different flavor.
- Add sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top if desired.
- Store leftover sticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
