You only need 4 ingredients, ham cheese puff pastry sticks

Instructions

1. Prepare the pastry:
   • Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
   • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
2. Layer it up:
   • Place the ham slices evenly over the pastry.
   • Sprinkle the grated cheese all over the ham.
   • Fold the pastry in half (like closing a book) and gently press down.
3. Cut and twist:
   • Slice the folded pastry into strips (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm wide).
   • Twist each strip a few times to form spirals.
4. Brush and bake:
   • Place twists on a parchment-lined baking tray.
   • Brush with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and beautifully golden brown.

Would you like me to give you a Hungarian-style twist on this — like using Trappista cheese and smoked ham, the way they make it in local bakeries? 🇭🇺
