    Ingredients
     

    • 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets thawed
    • 24 slices of leftover or deli ham

    Today I am sharing a simple recipe with you guys called Pasteles de Jamón y Queso. It is one of my favorite snacks and very popular in Colombia.

    Pasteles de Jamón y Queso (Ham and Cheese Pastries)Pin

    When it comes to pastries, I love recipes that are simple to make, and with store-bought ingredients, to make it easier and faster. This Pasteles de Jamón y Queso recipe is exactly what I like, because you can use store-bought pastry dough.

    Pasteles de Jamón y Queso are sold around the country in bakeries (panaderias), school cafeterias and coffee shops. They are great for breakfast, school lunches, snacks or even lunch.

    Buen provecho!

      I love to use the store-bought pastry too. These look so puffed up, flaky and delicious!

      They are very similar to the ham and cheese filled croissants very popular in Britain and often on sale at the main railway stations especially in London. Making these, I would first give the middle of each pastry square a mustard wash with a pastry brush to enhance the flavour of both the ham and the cheese.
