HAM AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY ( BAREFOOT CONTESSA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.

Place a layer first of ham and then cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
• Place the second sheet of puff pastry on the floured board and roll it out to 10 by 12inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, lining up the edges. Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
