Thaw the puff pastry. When it becomes soft, sprinkle the table with a small amount of flour, roll out the layer to 2 mm, no thicker. Using a sharp knife, cut into squares of equal size.

Cut the ham and cheese into thin slices (or better yet, ask the store to cut it for you). Place the cheese first on the dough squares, then the ham. Try not to overlap the cheese so that the surface of the rolls is even when rolled.


We do not roll the rolls very tightly. Be sure to tuck the edges inward. Firstly, cheese will not leak out of a closed tube during baking. Secondly, the finished puff pastries will look neater and are more convenient to eat.


Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment, the seam should be at the bottom. We leave a distance, taking into account that when baking the puff pastries will become more voluminous and fluffy. You can beat the egg and brush the surface two or three times before placing the puff pastries in the oven. If desired, sprinkle with sesame, cumin, flax or sunflower seeds.


Place the baking sheet on the top level and set the temperature to 200 degrees. At low temperatures, the puff pastry will not be fluffy and may not bake. Bake for 20-25 minutes, focusing on the strength of your oven and the desired color of the crust.


Remove the puff pastries from the oven, cool slightly and serve with tea. This pastry is very good as a school snack, a quick snack or an addition to first courses. Bon appetit!

When you want to diversify your breakfasts and move away from standard sandwiches with cheese and sausages, you can make puff pastries with ham and cheese. Puff pastry often helps out because it is universal for preparing a variety of baked goods. In this recipe I will tell you how to make golden-brown puff pastries with cheese and ham for breakfast. Get to work!

To prepare cheese and ham puffs, we will need:

  • Puff pastry without yeast - 2 layers
  • Ham – 300 g
  • Cheese - 300 g (Suluguni, Russian, Kostromskoy, Smetankovy, Creamy)
  • Egg - 1 pc.
  • Sesame or poppy seeds - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • Baking paper

How to make ham and cheese puff pastry

  1. Cut the ham and cheese into 8 equal-width slices. You can grate the cheese, but it seems to me that during cooking the cheese will melt and take on the desired consistency, and in terms of time, especially when you need to quickly prepare these puff pastries for breakfast, it saves time.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet and line it with paper. Beat the egg with a whisk into a light foam and prepare a pastry brush for coating our puff pastries.
  3. The dough for rolling should be at room temperature, so you need to get it in advance. I'll talk about two ways to wrap puff pastries. Whichever one you like best, use it. The first method is to roll out a sheet of dough into a square to a thickness of 1-2 mm. Divide the square with a knife into 4 equal parts.
  4. Place slices of cheese on each square and ham on it.
  5. We fold our puff pastries in the form of envelopes on all four sides.
  6. We pinch each edge of the puff pastry and make it curly. Before pinching, the edges must be moistened with water for strength. Here's how it turned out for me:
  7. The second method is puff pastries with cuts. Roll out a layer of puff pastry into a rectangle, 1-2 mm thick. Cut with a knife into 4 even rectangles.
  8. Place the filling on the near half of each rectangle: first cheese, then ham. On the far half we make 3 cuts in the middle, not reaching the edge.
  9. Cover the filling and pinch the edges. Transfer the prepared puff pastries with ham and cheese onto a baking sheet.
  10. Preheat the oven to 190 °C
  11. Coat the top of each puff pastry with a brush with beaten egg so that after baking they turn out golden and not pale. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.

And now our ham and cheese puff pastry puffs are ready!

This is how it turned out for me.

Having a pack of frozen puff pastry in stock will never get you into trouble when you need to quickly bake something for tea or for a snack.

This recipe with step-by-step photos will help you bake them. A successful, appetizing option for a “duty” snack for a festive or everyday table. Instead of bread or as a snack - just perfect!

To prepare 5 puffs you will need:

How to make puff pastries with ham and hard cheese (step-by-step recipe with photos):

Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature. To prevent it from sticking to the surface, sprinkle the sheet with a small amount of flour. Defrosting usually takes 20-30 minutes. To prevent the top of the dough from drying out, grease it with vegetable oil or cover it with cling film (towel). These puff pastries can be made from yeast or yeast-free puff pastry. The result will be delicious, but the preparation has some peculiarities.

Place the completely thawed puff pastry on the table. Roll it out a little. Cut into 5-6 strips of approximately the same width.


Thinly slice the ham and cheese. It is convenient to use ready-made cheese slices from thin slices. The type of cheese can be any. I used cheddar - it melts well when baked in the oven, retains its flavor and forms delicious cheese “strands”.


Place cheese slices on each strip of dough, end to end, along the entire length, as shown in the photo.


Place the ham on top. Instead, you can use almost any meat delicacy - carbonate, boiled-smoked pork neck, etc.


Roll the dough with the filling into a tight roll. You will get a “rose” like this. Blind the edges so that the puff pastry does not fall apart during baking.


It is convenient to bake these puff pastries in a cupcake (muffin) tin. Place each blank in a separate cell.


Mix the yolk and a teaspoon of clean water or milk. Beat lightly with a fork. Brush the top of the puff pastry with the mixture. If desired, sprinkle with ground pepper, herbes de Provence, dried garlic and other seasonings. If you used a yeast puff base, leave the puffs to rise in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. They will increase slightly in volume. Place the pan with puff pastries in an oven preheated to 210-230 degrees. Bake until golden brown. See the dough package for the exact cooking time and temperature.


Serve the puff pastries immediately, before the melted cheese has time to cool. The next day you can reheat them and they will be as fresh as fresh. A very successful combination of weightless puff pastry, spicy ham and delicate cheese. Tasty and appetizing!


Over the centuries of existence, humanity has not come up with anything tastier than a simple combination of bread, cheese and meat.

When choosing which dough to make puff pastry from, you need to take into account that yeast puff pastry tastes like butter.

  7. The yeast dough is taken out of the refrigerator and using a rolling pin, a wide rectangular cake is formed from it.

  8. Afterwards, the dough is rolled out into a rectangle, folded and put in the refrigerator for another 1 hour. Then this procedure is repeated at least 3 more times.
