Braided Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry

Fold the ends at the top and bottom, then cross the strips alternating left and right to form a braid.

Baking 🔥

Brush the top with egg yolk.

Bake at 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and crispy.

Serving 🍽️

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Perfect with a small green salad!

💡 Time-saving tip:
Use a ready-made cheese blend (Emmental, mozzarella, cheddar) for more flavor and zero effort.

🔄 Ingredient swap:
No ham? Substitute smoked salmon, cooked chicken, or even spinach for a vegetarian version.

🔥 Cooking tip:
Place the braid on a very hot baking sheet to ensure a crispy bottom (use a preheated baking sheet or a pizza stone).
