Freezer Friendly Ham and Cheese Pockets

These Freezer Friendly Ham and Cheese Pockets are a delicious and convenient snack or meal option. They are packed with savory ham and creamy cheese, wrapped in flaky puff pastry. Make a batch ahead of time and freeze for a quick and satisfying treat whenever you need it.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked ham, diced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 375F 190C

Add the shredded cheddar, cream, Dijon mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, and diced ham to a mixing bowl

Blend until thoroughly blended

Roll out each puff pastry sheet to a large rectangle about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface

To make a total of 12 squares, cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares

Put a generous amount of the ham and cheese mixture in the middle of each square of pastry

Enclosing the filling, fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle

To seal the pockets, press down on the edges using a fork

With some space between each, arrange the ham and cheese pockets on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper

For a golden finish, lightly brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and puffy, in a preheated oven

Before serving, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool slightly

Have fun To freeze for a later time, let the pockets cool fully before wrapping each one separately in plastic wrap and putting them in a freezer-safe bag or container

Put a date and label on the container

You can keep them in the freezer for a maximum of two months
