Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 8 square slices (à 45 g) frozen puff pastry
  • 100 g Diced ham
  • 2 Spring onions
  • 100 g Blue cheese (e.g. Bavaria blu)
  • 400 g Double cream cheese with herbs
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 2 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 4 TABLESPOONS Milk
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the puff pastry slices next to each other and let them thaw for about 10 minutes. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). In the meantime, fry the diced ham in a pan without fat until crispy.

  2. 2

    Clean and wash spring onions and cut into fine rings. Coarsely mash blue cheese with a fork, mix with cream cheese. Stir in diced ham and spring onions. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl with a fork. Spread one half of each puff pastry slice with cheese-ham-cream, leaving 1⁄2 cm free from the edge. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg milk.

  4. 4

    Fold the empty puff pastry half over the filling. Press the edges of the dough well together with a fork.

  5. 5

    Place the Pop-Tartes on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush with the rest of the egg milk and bake in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve with your favourite ketchup.
