HAM PUFFS
These ham puffs are a great appetizer or even a tasty addition to a brunch menu. The Dijon mustard and onion give them a punch of flavor but not overpowering. Buttery, flaky crescent bread provides the base to a slightly puffy ham and cheese filling. A fantastic way to use leftover holiday ham. We were able to fill 24 mini muffin...

HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS
My family used to make these for special occasions, or random visitors! Basically a gougere! They can be baked and frozen then just brought out and thrown in a toaster oven when needed! Sometimes I like a stronger mustard taste so I double the dry mustard. I'm guessing at the amount of servings as I don't think I've ever made a single batch of this recipe - haha.

- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps to create flaky layers.
