Ingredients
1 package puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup prepared pesto
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 small purple onion, thinly sliced
10-12 slices of ham
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3
Use a fork to prick the dough all over to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
4
Bake the pastry for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sour cream, grated parmesan, pesto, and dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Spread the cheese mixture over the cooled pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
7
Arrange the ham slices and onion on top of the cheese mixture.
8
Roll out the remaining puff pastry into a rectangle that is slightly larger than the first one. Place it on top of the ham and onion, pressing the edges to seal.
9
Use a sharp knife to score the top of the pastry in a diamond or square pattern, taking care not to cut through to the filling.
10
Bake the sandwich for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
11
Let the sandwich cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm with your favorite soup on the side.
