cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber, while store-bought dough saves time.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut pastry into squares or rectangles, about 4 inches wide.

Whisk together eggs in a bowl.

Add diced cooked ham and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture.

Spoon the egg mixture onto the center of each pastry square.

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, sealing the edges with a fork.

Place pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
