Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8oz package cream cheese or neufchatel cheese softened
  • 3 slices premium ham more if using thinly sliced ham
  • 2 cup frozen broccoli
  • 1 box Puff Pastry thawed
  • flour for dusting work surface
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add cream cheese. Using a fork, beat the cream cream until smooth. Set aside
  • Take the ham slices and dice the ham into small pieces. Add them to the bowl of cream cheese.
  • Take the frozen broccoli and microwave it per instructions on the bag. Microwave until thawed but not hot.
  • Once broccoli is thawed, add to a strainer and squeeze broccoli to remove as much water as possible.
  • Toss the broccoli onto your cutting board and dice it the same way you did the ham. Add it to your cream cheese bowl.
  • Mix the ham and broccoli into the cream cheese until well combined. Set aside.
  • Dust your cutting board with a small amount of flour. Open your box of puff pastry. There are usually two sheets per box. Take the sheets and unfold them on your cutting board, being very careful not to break them.
  • Divide the cream cheese mixture between the 2 sheets of puff pastry. Spread the cream cheese mixture thinly on each sheet, making sure to leave 1/2 inch edge uncovered on both sides of the puff pastry.

Forming Palmiers

  • Starting at an outside-edge, begin rolling the edge of the puff pastry to the middle of the sheet. At the other outside-edge of the same sheet of puff pastry, roll that edge towards the center also. Both rolls should meet in the middle. Repeat this process for the second sheet of puff pastry.
  • To a small bowl, add the egg and water. Beat until well combined to form an egg wash.
  • Using your pastry brush, brush the middle seam between the two rolls of the puff pastry with the egg wash. Push the rolls together.
  • Cut the puff pastry about 1/2 inch thick. Place your palmier on to the cookie leaving space to expand.
  • Bake at 400℉ for about 15mins or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!!
