Ham and Cheese Pastry

I’m going to give you a multi-tasker today.

Continuing with our appetizer theme for the Super Bowl…I present to you this delicious take on a ham and cheese sandwich, which makes an easy appetizer for a crowd (or a dinner for a crowd-see below).  There were so many hands coming in from all directions when I pulled this out of the oven at a party that I can’t even remember if I got a piece.

Other times, we have those days where we look in our fridge and wonder what the heck we’re going to make for dinner after a long day of work.  If you prepare just slightly in advance and buy some ham and have a somewhat decently stocked pantry and fridge, you should have all the ingredients for this to whip on as an easy dinner with a light salad on the side.  I used a mixture of whole-grain and smooth Dijon because I love the spicy pop of the mustard seeds; use whatever you prefer.  This is a fancy take on a ham and cheese sandwich.

Crispy, flaky, golden-brown puff pastry…nutty, melty Gruyere…salty ham?!  Yes, please!
