Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed

• 4–6 slices of cheddar or American cheese

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

• Chopped chives (for garnish)

• Butter or cooking spray (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

   • Cut out round discs using a cookie cutter or a glass (about 3-4 inches in diameter). You’ll need an even number of discs (e.g., 12 discs for 6 sandwiches).

3. Assemble the stacks:

   • Place half of the pastry discs on the baking sheet.

   • Top each with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese (trim to fit).

   • Cover with another pastry disc and press the edges gently to seal.

4. Brush with egg wash:

   • Beat the egg and brush the tops of the pastries. This gives them a golden, glossy finish.

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

6. Garnish and serve:

   • Sprinkle chopped chives on top before serving. Serve warm!

Tips:

• You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or turkey.

• For extra flavor, add mustard or a thin layer of cream cheese before the ham and cheese.
