Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for good-quality ham, Swiss cheese, and puff pastry. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will also elevate the taste.
  • If you don't have 1 pound of deli ham, you can use 20 slices.
  • Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Don't over-roll the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • For an even bake, make sure the egg wash is evenly brushed over the entire surface of the pastry.
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet. Leave enough space between the pastries so that they can puff up properly.
  • The pastries are done when they are golden brown and puffed up. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the pastries cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
