Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8-10 slices ham
- 8-10 slices smoked turkey
- 2 cups (480 ml) shredded Creamy Havarti cheese
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water
For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) raspberry preserves
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) dijon mustard
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry until it’s easy to work with. it should be cold, but rollable.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about a 16 by 12 inch rectangle. Top with a layer of ham slices, slightly overlapping, followed by a layer of turkey slices. Spread the shredded cheese evenly overly the meats.
- Starting on the long end of the rectangle, roll the puff pastry up into a log. Use a fork to whisk together the egg and the water in a small bowl. Brush the log with the egg wash, then slice it into 14-16 rounds. Place the rounds on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between each one. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cheese is melted and puff pastry is golden.
- In a small bowl, stir together the raspberry and dijon. Serve the monte cristo bites warm with the raspberry dipping sauce.
