This makes a super easy breakfast as only a few ingredients is needed !
I typically buy the cage free eggs, cheese and ham from Costco. And I get the frozen Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheets at Ralphs. For this recipe, just use your favorite kind of cheese !

Ham And Cheese Puff Pastry Bake
Servings 3 People
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 1 Box Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Frozen Sheets ( Included in the box are 2 ready to bake sheets)
- 1 Package Kirkland Signature Extra Lean Sliced Ham
- Your Choice of Shredded or Sliced Cheese: Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere, etc. ( Just your favorite cheese)
FOR THE EGG WASH:
- 1 Extra Large Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Water
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 375 degrees.
- Make the egg wash. Crack an egg into a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Then whisk and set aside.
- Tear a sheet of parchment paper the size of your baking sheet and set aside.
- Remove the 2 frozen pastry sheets from the box and unfold ONE of the pastry sheets.
- Each pastry sheet is folded into 3 sections so go ahead and tear each section apart. You should now have 3 rectangular pastry sheets.
- Lay the 3 rectangular pastry sheets onto the parchment paper.
- Dab your finger into the egg wash and slide it along the entire border of the rectangular pastry sheet. This will allow you to seal the 2 pastry sheets together later.
- Remove 6 slices of ham from the package . Each slice is rectangular shaped so cut right down the center of the ham to create 2 squares. Then cut each square in half.
- Lay the slices of ham on the rectangular pastry sheets but try to stay WITHIN the egg wash border. Do not put anything onto the egg wash border.
- Next add your cheese on top of the ham again staying within the egg wash border.
- Then add another layer of ham and stay within the egg wash border.
- Now place another of the rectangular pastry sheet on top and line up the edges. Seal the two pastry sheets together by pressing gently down along the edges.
- Use the back side of the fork to crimp the edges.
- Brush the entire top of the filled pastry with the egg wash.
- Cut 8 slits across the top to allow the steam to escape.
- Unfold the second pastry sheet and repeat the process.
- There are 6 rectangular pastries sheets so at the end you should have 3 filled pastries. Now pick up the parchment paper with the 3 filled pastries and transfer them over to the backing sheet.
- Place them in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until puffy and golden.
- Serve hot or warm.
