Instructions
Mini croissants
- Unroll the puff pastry on the worktop and cut it into long, narrow triangles running across the width of the sheet (the short way). The wide end of each croissant should measure 5-6 cm. See the video above the recipe.
- Roll the triangles up into croissants – starting from the wide end and rolling towards the narrow tip – and place them on a baking tray with the seam underneath. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
Ham salad
- Put the ham in a mini chopper or similar and blitz until finely chopped. Alternatively, chop it finely with a knife.
- Mix the ham with the remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Mini croissants with ham salad
