Mini Ham Croissants
- Store-bought puff pastry, rolled into 1 (10 by 12-inch) rectangle
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup ham, diced
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the 10 by 12-inch rectangle puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface with the short side in front of you and cut it into four 3-inch wide strips from left to right.
- Next cut each strip into 6 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles on the work surface with the tips facing you.
- Gently pull each tip toward you; this light stretch adds layers to the finished croissant without adding density.
- Place a small amount of chopped ham on the wide side of each triangle, about 1/2-inch from the edge.
- Use the tips of your fingers to roll the triangle from the base to the tip.
- Place the croissants seam side down on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.
- Combine egg wash ingredients and brush the tops of the croissants.
- Bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
- All of these puff pastry items are best eaten the day they are made.
