Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 20 Min.

* 1 egg
* 1 Tbsp. water
* all-purpose flour
* 1/2 of a 17.3-oz. pkg. Pepperidge FarmŪ Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
* 8 thin slices deli Black Forest ham
* 4 slices deli Swiss cheese (about 4 oz.)
* confectioners' sugar
* pure maple syrup

1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
2. Sprinkle the flour on the work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-in. square. Cut into 4 (6-in.) squares. Brush the edges of the pastries with the egg mixture.
3. With a corner of 1 pastry facing you, place 2 slices ham and 1 slice cheese on the bottom half of the pastry. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastries.
4. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 min. or until the pastries are golden brown. Sprinkle the pastries with the confectioners' sugar. Serve with the maple syrup.

* For a savory twist, serve with Dijon-style mustard instead of the maple syrup.
