40 minutes

Puff pastries with ham and greens are a delightful combination of crispy dough, tender cured ham, and fresh herbs. Their roots trace back to Italian cuisine, where puff pastry is valued for its lightness and rich flavor. The aroma of the pastries awakens the appetite, and their delicate texture combined with the salty taste of ham and the light freshness of herbs makes them an ideal snack or accompaniment to main dishes. Sesame seeds add nutty notes and give the pastry an elegant appearance. This is a wonderful choice for both a cozy family breakfast and a festive table, as these pastries are easy to prepare and consistently delight with their taste and appetizing look.
