Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed
  • 4–6 slices of ham or bacon
  • 100 g cheese (e.g., cheddar, Gruyère), sliced or shredded
  • 2–3 Tbsp fruit jam apple, peach, raspberry, or favourites
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
  • Optionally: 1 tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds optional garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat Oven: Heat to 180 °C (356 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Pastry & Fillings: Unfold puff pastry and smooth out any creases. Slice into equal rectangles or triangles (e.g., 4x4 for 16).
  3. Add Savory Triangles: On half of the triangles, place a slice of ham and cheese, leaving a small edge for sealing.
  4. Add Sweet Triangles: On the other half, spoon 1 tsp of fruit jam each. Dust with optional cinnamon sugar for added flavor.
  5. Seal & Brush: Fold triangles over to enclose fillings. Press edges with a fork to seal. Brush each with beaten egg.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of savory ones or extra sugar on sweet ones.
  7. Bake: Place on the prepared tray and bake in the center of the oven for 25–30 minutes until puffy and golden.
  8. Cool Slightly & Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burns and to allow flavors to settle.
