Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into small squares or rectangles.
3. Finely chop the cooked ham and the light mozzarella.
4. Place a small amount of ham and mozzarella in the center of each pastry square.
5. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
6. Lightly beat the egg and brush it over the top of each rustic for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Let them cool slightly before serving so the cheese sets.

Tips

• Use light mozzarella to keep the fats lower while maintaining that classic stringy texture.
• These can be prepared in advance and reheated in an air fryer for 2 minutes to restore their crunch.
