Ham and Cheese Pockets are the ultimate grab-and-go meal—flaky, golden puff pastry filled with savory ham and melted cheese. They come together in minutes and are perfect for lunchboxes, picnics, or quick dinners.
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll and Cut
On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle. Cut into 4 equal squares (or 6 rectangles).
Assemble the Pockets
If using mustard, spread a thin layer on half of each square. Place ham and cheese on the same half. Fold the empty half over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press edges with a fork to seal.
Egg Wash and Vent
Brush tops with beaten egg wash. Cut 2 small slits on top of each pocket for steam to escape.
Bake
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Serve
Serve warm.
These Ham and Cheese Pockets are flaky, cheesy, and incredibly satisfying—a perfect quick meal.
