Ingredients:

• 2 sheets of puff pastry
• 4 slices of ham
• 4 slices of Swiss cheese
• 4 slices of turkey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375F 190C

Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a clean surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, creating 8 squares in total

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on 4 of the puff pastry squares

Place a slice of ham, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a slice of turkey on top of the mustard-covered squares

Top each with one of the remaining puff pastry squares to create a sandwich

Use a fork to crimp the edges of each pastry to seal the sandwiches

Brush the tops of the sandwiches with the beaten egg for a golden finish

Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up
