Puff pastry plait with ham and cheese

Puff pastry tart filled with ham, flavoured cream cheese and mozzarella. A ham plait – a lovely classic that is really easy to make.
Puff pastry is wonderful for tarts. It is easy to work with, and it simply tastes so good.
A puff pastry plait can be served on its own with a good salad, or as part of a buffet, on the tapas table, at the Christmas lunch, for dinner or for lunch.
It can be on the table in under 30 minutes and can be served either warm or cold. Personally I prefer it warm, when the mozzarella is gooey and stringy.

How to cut the puff pastry for a ham plait
In the picture below the recipe you can see how I cut the puff pastry when it is to be plaited around the filling.
It is hard to explain properly in words, so it is easiest just to show it with a picture.
Above the recipe there is a video where you can see how I fold the puff pastry around the filling.
I hope both will help you make a beautiful, delicious ham plait – or a puff pastry plait with a different filling.

Method

  • Unroll the puff pastry on a sheet of baking paper.
  • The filling goes down the middle of the pastry, so cut diagonal strips into the pastry from the edge until you are 1/3 of the way in across the sheet. Do this on both sides.
    See the picture just below the recipe.
  • Spread the cream cheese down the middle, top with half the mozzarella, then the ham, and finally the rest of the mozzarella on top.
    Season with a little salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Fold the ends of the pastry in over the filling, then fold the strips in over the filling, alternating from side to side – one at a time.
    See the video above the recipe if you need to.
  • Brush the top with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake the plait in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 20 minutes.
  • Leave it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

    Jeg lavede følgende friske/lidt syrlige salat til:

    Blandet grøn salat (fx babyspinat, feldsalat eller romainesalat)
    1 grønt æble i tynde skiver
    Agurk i halve skiver
    Ristede solsikkekerner eller valnødder
    lidt rødløg i tynde skiver

    Dressing:
    1 tsk dijonsennep
    1 spsk honning
    2 spsk æblecidereddike
    4 spsk olivenolie
    Salt og peber

    Den smager fantastisk.
    Har du en opskrift på en lækker salat man kan servere til??
    Tak for mega mange virkelig lækre opskrifter……

    • Hej Marianne

      Så dejligt at høre 🙂

      Jamen jeg tænker faktisk de fleste salater vil være lækre til – alt fra en klassisk grøn salat til en frisk pastasalat, bulgursalat eller lignende:)

      Warm wishes, Dianna

    Kære Dianna. Din Butterdejsstang med skinke og ost lyder godt selvom jeg ikke har prøvet den, men kunne tænke mig den serveret til let julefrokost. Derfor er mit spørgsmål, om den kan laves nogle dage før, og fryses? Hvis ja – skal tilberedningen ske fra frossen eller optøet tilstand?
    PS ærgerlig at min iPad ikke kan vise videoen med foldeteknikken

    • Hej Kai

      Tusind tak for din besked 🙂
      Jeg ville nok hellere opbevare den på køl hvis det blot er et par dage, og så lune den i ovnen inden servering.
      Jeg kan være nervøs for, om dejen vil smuldrer/afskalle efter en tur i fryseren.

      Ærgerligt med videoen, har du prøvet i både safari og firefox?

      Warm wishes, Dianna

      Den kan sagtens fryses… Det gør vi ude i det stor køkken jeg arbejder i.
      Dagen før du skal bruge den , tager du den ud af fryseren og lader den tø op i køleskabet og så er den lige klar til ovnen og pensels med æg og drysses med sesamfrø
