Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry

Yield: 8

Author: Ori Harrington

Prep time: 8 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 28 Min

Ingredients

• 1 sheet vegan puff pastry (homemade or store-bought)
• 16 slices of vegan ham (I used Tofurkey)
• 250g of your favorite vegan cheese (I used a bunch of different ones)
• 1/4 cup vegan butter -melted (I used Becel)
• Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut it into 8 equal squares. Make sure the pastry stays chilled to ensure it puffs up nicely when baking.
3. In the center of each puff pastry square, place 2-3 tablespoons of vegan cheese. Fold or slightly tear the vegan ham slices if necessary to fit, then place them over the cheese.
4. Bring one corner of the puff pastry to the center, then bring the opposite corner over and press them together gently to form a "tie." For a more decorative finish, you can twist the overlapping corners. Repeat this process with the remaining puff pastry squares.
5. Gently brush the tops of each puff pastry with the melted vegan butter. This adds flavor and helps the pastries achieve a golden brown color. If you're using everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle it generously over the top of each pastry for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
6. Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for the dough to puff. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
7. Once baked, let the pastries cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve them warm on their own or pair with a side of vegan hollandaise sauce for dipping.
