Instructions
step 1 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
step 2 Roll out both puff pastry sheets slightly and place one on the prepared baking sheet.
step 3 Layer half the shredded mozzarella evenly over the bottom sheet, followed by slices of ham, and then the rest of the mozzarella and cheddar.
step 4 Top with the second puff pastry sheet and gently press the edges to seal.
step 5 In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the pastry with the mixture.
step 6 Use a knife to score the top in a criss-cross pattern without cutting all the way through.
step 7 Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
step 8 Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then cut into squares or stacks.
step 9 Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–12 minutes until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it may soften the pastry. These also freeze well—wrap tightly and reheat straight from frozen.
