Puff pastry with ham, cheese and grainy mustard


This is a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa and is so simple. Thaw a box of puff pastry in the frig over night.  Spray a baking pan. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry. Use an egg wash around the edges to seal the two pastry sheets together.) Lay one sheet  on the pan and cover the sheet with mustard of your choice. I used grainy and hot mixed.  Place several slice of deli ham all over the mustard.  Place your favorite cheese slice on top of the ham and little round pickles over the entire thing.  (She didn't use bacon, but I had crisp bacon from breakfast, so I added that.) Roll out your next and last sheet and cover the entire thing. Making sure there is enough egg wash to seal the package.  Barefoot didn't put the poppy see stuff on top, but we liked it that way and as you can see, Brooks doesn't mind it at all.  Oven for around 25 minutes until it is puffed, brown, and beautiful enough for a picture.

The chicks are coming home to roost and they are hungry!  I am in the kitchen dreaming up new ideas for their parties and they are my thing tasters.  This is Brooks who graduated from the Citadel with many honors and as a second lieutenant and NOW HE'S HUNGRY.  The army Ranger's School gets him next and I don't want to send him away hungry.
