Description

Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, slightly thawed*
• 12 ounces ham, cut into narrow slices
• 4 ounces gruyere, cut into batons**
• 1 egg

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper, set aside.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle (10-11 inches long)
• Cut the puff pastry into 6 narrow triangles. Place a few slices of ham and a few batons of cheese at the wide end of each triangle. The exact amount will vary depending on the size of the triangle, but approximately 2 ounces of ham and ½ an ounce of cheese each.
• Starting at the wide end of the triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed end, wrapping up the ham and cheese in the dough as you go.
• Place each croissant on the lined baking sheet. In a small dish whisk the egg until scrambled. Brush the egg wash over each croissant. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden.
