Puff pastry twists

Ingredients:

1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry

100 g cooked ham

100 g grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

Finely chop the ham in a food processor and set aside. Roll out the pastry on its baking paper. Beat the egg and brush thoroughly half of the puff pastry. Sprinkle this half with the grated cheese, then add the chopped ham. Close with the other half of pastry, make the ingredients stick to the pastry and seal the edges. Cut the pastry into strips, twist them gently, place them on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for about 20 minutes.

Puff pastry sticks with Parmesan

250 g fresh ready-made puff pastry

1 egg

100 g grated Parmesan cheese

Roll out the pastry on a work surface and roll it with a rolling pin. Beat one egg with a fork and brush it on the dough, then sprinkle over the Parmesan, covering it all. Pass the rolling pin over the cheese so as to make it adhere to the pastry and cut into sticks. Line up the pastry sticks on one or two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Put them in the oven at 190 degrees C for about ten minutes.

Mini hot dogs

Ingredients:

Rectangular ready-made puff pastry

Mini hot dog sausages 

1 egg yolk

Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry until it is a little thinner and cut it into strips about 1 inch by 3 inches. Place the hot dog on the narrow end of the puff pastry and roll it up, pressing on the puff pastry so that it seals itself. Brush with the egg yolk and arrange the mini hot dogs, seam-side down,  on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200 degrees C for about 10-15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
