Preparation

How to prepare Ham pastry

To prepare ham pastries, cut the Asiago cheese into pieces 1, place them in the mixer 2 and blend 3.

Cut the puff pastry roll into 8 rectangles of equal size 4. Take one rectangle and top the shorter side with the cheese 5 and ham 6.

Now cut incisions into the untopped side 7. Fold like a book 8 and seal the edges 9.

Press down along the edges with the prongs of a fork to create a decorative pattern and seal each bite 10. Place the bites on a tray lined with parchment paper 11 and brush the surface with the egg yolk 12.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the surface 13 and bake in a static oven preheated to 390°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove the ham pastries from the oven 15, leave to cool and serve warm.

Storage

Ham pastries can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days and can be heated up just before serving. They can be frozen both baked and unbaked.

Tips

They can be brushed with milk instead of egg. They can be decorated with poppy seeds or any other seeds you prefer. Asiago cheese can be replaced with Emmental, fontina or caciocavallo cheese.
