Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Then, whisk the egg with 1 Tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water in a small bowl. Set aside.

To make the honey mustard, combine the Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Next, unroll one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll the puff pastry into a 9×12-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the puff pastry into 12 3×3-inch squares. Line the puff pastry squares on one of the prepared sheet pans about 2 inches apart. Place the sheet pan in the fridge to keep the puff pastry chilled. Repeat the process with the remaining sheet of puff pastry.

|
Use a the tines of a fork to lightly dock the centers of the puff pastry squares. Then, spoon a small dollop of honey mustard in the center of each puff pastry square. Top the honey mustard with a thin slice of cheese and a few pieces of ham.

Working one at a time, fold one corner of a puff pastry square over the ham and cheese. Then, brush the opposite puff pastry corner with a little egg wash. Fold the second puff pastry corner over the first, pressing firmly to seal. Use toothpicks to keep the puff pastry sealed, if needed. Fold the remaining bites.

|
Brush the outside of the puff pastry bites with the egg wash. Then, sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a mix of both.

Bake the bites for 20-23 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden-brown. Sprinkle the puffs with the minced chives. Enjoy warm!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Puff Pastry Between Steps ❄️Keep your puff pastry cold in the refrigerator between cutting and assembly to maintain flakiness and prevent the butter from melting into the dough during handling.
- Egg Wash for Golden Perfection ✨Brush a thin egg wash (beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water) on top just before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and ensure seeds stick properly to the surface.
- Balance Honey and Dijon Ratio 🍯Use equal parts honey and Dijon mustard (about 2 tablespoons each) to create the perfect sweet-savory spread that won't overpower the ham and cheese flavors.
- Toast Seeds First for Extra Flavor 🌰Lightly toast poppy and sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes before sprinkling to intensify their nutty flavor and crunch factor significantly.
- Slice Ham Thin and Layer Strategically 🍖Use thin-sliced Black Forest ham and layer it flat on the pastry rather than bunching it up to ensure even cooking and prevent the ham from becoming tough or chewy.
