The recipe is very simple also, if you want, you can make a smaller format with rolls, palmeritas or mini Neapolitans. Of course, you can also change the filling of this ham and cheese puff pastry at will, looking for more or less powerful cheeses depending on your taste.
In this case we bet on cooked ham and mozzarella cheese, which are very easy to find and are liked by everyone, but also you can try with some Serrano ham or some Iberian ham or with more prominent cheese such as Camembert, Parmesan or Manchego. The important thing in the recipe is that the cheese melts relatively well, although it does not have to be a very melting cheese.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Whisk the egg. Cut the sheet of puff pastry into 4 portions. in each portion put a slice of york ham and about 60 grams of cheese.
Close the puff pastries on themselves painting with egg to seal. Paint the puff pastries on top and sprinkle the almonds. Bake 12 minutes at 200ºC and 4-5 more at 180ºC.
