How to make Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Bites
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut the puff pastry into equal squares of about 2.3x2.3 inches (6x6 cm). Set aside in the refrigerator.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, scallion, Dijon mustard, and pepper. Set aside.
Arrange the puff pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Top each pastry with a heaping teaspoon of the ham and cheese mixture in the middle.
Fold the corners onto the top like an envelope. Pinch the middle to seal the envelope.
Brush all sides of the pastry with the egg wash. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Serve warm.

You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a different flavor.
