Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry (thawed (2 sheets))
  • 1/4 cup fig jam (or mustard, if preferred)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 4 slices Gruyere cheese (cut in half diagonally)
  • 1 medium pear (thinly sliced)
  • arugula

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Unfold both sheets of puff pastry. Roll out to a 12” square. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
  • Spread with a little fig jam so that it covers all but ½” around edges.
  • Brush edges lightly with beaten egg. This will help hold and seal the pockets together.
  • Place a slice of ham on one corner. Cut the ham or fold over so that it fits without touching the ½” edge.
  • Place the Gruyere cheese on top of the ham, adjusting to fit.
  • Place the pear slice on top of cheese. This can be cut in half and laid on top of each other if the pear slice is too large to fit.
  • Sprinkle with a little arugula.
  • Fold the other corner up and over filling so that it makes a triangular pocket. Press the edges together then seal by pressing with the tines of a fork.
  • Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Lightly brush beaten egg over the top of the pockets.
  • Bake 18-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is a nice golden brown. Serve immediately while still warm.
