How to Prepare the Savory Puff Pastry with Ham
Let’s start preparing the savory puff pastry with ham, cut the rectangular puff pastry into 6 parts,
and pierce it with the tines of a fork,
brush with a beaten egg
and sprinkle with some salt, bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 15 minutes.
Pour the prosciutto into the blender’s cup
and the cream cheese, blend intermittently
slowly adding some oil
until you get a cream,
then transfer it into a piping bag.
When the puff pastry is ready, remove from oven and let cool, then trim the edges to make them more rustic.
Place a puff pastry rectangle on the plate and add the ham cream,
cover with another pastry,
decorate with a dollop of ham cream, a slice of prosciutto rolled to form a rose shape.
Serve the puff pastry immediately or keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
How to store the Savory Puff Pastry with Ham
Store it in the refrigerator for 1 day; after that, the puff pastry will not be as crispy and fragrant.
