Hot Ham & Cheese Slices

These were so yummy! Hubby raved about them. It's a great twist on hot sandwiches and they are very easy to make. You could even change it up with the types of meat and cheese. I used swiss slices, but they didn't melt too well. Next time, I will be trying it with shredded swiss and patting the ham down to reduce some of the moisture.


Hot Ham and Cheese Slices
adapted from Taste of Home

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
1 TBS Dijon mustard
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 to 1/3 lb of thinly sliced ham
1/4 to 1/3 lb sliced Swiss cheese

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400.

Unfold the pastry sheet and roll it out until it's thin. Almost paper thin, but not so thin that it's completely transparent and ripping. 

Spread the mustard all over the dough. On half of the sheet, put down a layer of cheese, top with ham and then additional cheese. Fold the other half of the sheet over the cheese and ham and seal the edges. I sort of rolled and then pinched my edges together. 

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I wouldn't recommend foil unless it's the non-stick kind. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes and then slice with a serrated knife. 

Enjoy!
