HAM, CHEESE & TOMATO PRET PASTRIES RECIPE - LUNCH IDEA

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Turkey ham is leaner, while cooked chicken is often cheaper.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: phyllo dough

Whole wheat adds fiber; phyllo is often less expensive.

Grate 100g of cheddar and 100g of mozzarella cheese and mix them together.

Cut the tops off the tomatoes and prepare them, cutting them into medallions.

Cut the puff pastry into four pieces.

On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the puff pastry pieces.

Fill each piece with cheese and tomatoes, seasoning with salt and black pepper.

Add a slice of bacon to each pastry.

Fold the pastry over to close it and seal the edges.

Beat an egg and brush it over the top of each pastry for egg wash.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
