Ingredients
- For the filling
- 2 tbsp Glenstal butter
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 250ml milk
- 100g Glenstal vintage red cheddar, grated
- 1 tsp flaky salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 50g diced ham
- 1 egg, beaten
- 50g Glenstal vintage red cheddar, grated
Method
- 1. For the filling, melt butter in a medium sized pot set over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir it into the melted butter, cook for about 5 minutes while stirring slowly.
- 2. Very slowly whisk in the milk, then continue to cook, while still stirring with a whisk, until mixture thickens.
- 3. Add the 100g Glenstal vintage red cheddar, salt and pepper, and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
- 4. Remove from heat and press a round of parchment paper to the surface of the sauce to stop a skin from forming, then leave to cool for 20-30 minutes.
- 5. Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan assisted.
- 6. Lay puff pastry sheet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.
- 7. Spoon the cooled cheese sauce into the centre of each square then add diced ham to each.
- 8. Fold the corners of the puff pastry so that the points meet in the centre and pinch them together to create small parcels.
- 9. Brush the top of each pastry parcel with beaten egg, then sprinkle each with the grated cheese.
- 10. Bake in the pre-heated oven until golden and the bottom of the jambons are cooked, about 20 minutes.
- 11. Leave to cool on the tray on a wire rack before enjoying while still warm or cold.
