Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 pound black forest ham, sliced
1/2 pound Swiss Gruyere cheese, sliced
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
  • Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and carefully roll it out to 10 by 12 inches. Place it on a sheet pan and brush the center with the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place a layer first of ham and then cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
  • Place the second sheet of puff pastry on the floured board and roll it out to 10 by 12inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, lining up the edges. Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve hot or warm.

Time 9h30m

Yield 4 to 6 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 1-pound loaf frozen bread dough
Nonstick cooking spray
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 pound shaved Virginia ham
1/2 pound Irish Cheddar or other white Cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
  • Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.
