Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lay out a sheet of puff pastry on one of the prepared baking sheets. Cut the pastry into four squares. Repeat with the other sheet of puff pastry on the other baking sheet. You should have eight squares. Spread them out evenly on the trays.
1 17.5-oz package frozen puff pastry
Divide the ham slices among the eight pieces of pastry, laying the ham diagonally across the middle of the pastry, covering two corners. Place half a slice of cheese atop each portion of ham.
8 oz sliced ham, 4 oz swiss cheese slices
In a small bowl prepare the egg wash by beating an egg and adding a tablespoon of water.
1 egg
Fold over the uncovered corners of pastry, brushing them with a bit of egg wash to help them glue together. Brush the exposed pastry with the egg wash as well.
Bake the foldovers until golden and puffy, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

To Make a Meal Prep: These sandwiches are best fresh, but you can reheat them the next day in the microwave or air fryer.

Freeze Extra for Later: I don’t recommend making these for the freezer as the puff pastry gets really soggy.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or for best texture, the air fryer. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
