Mini Ham Croissants

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Place the 10 by 12-inch rectangle puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface with the short side in front of you and cut it into four 3-inch wide strips from left to right.

3. 3

   Next cut each strip into 6 triangles.

4. 4

   Arrange the triangles on the work surface with the tips facing you.

5. 5

   Gently pull each tip toward you; this light stretch adds layers to the finished croissant without adding density.

6. 6

   Place a small amount of chopped ham on the wide side of each triangle, about 1/2-inch from the edge.

7. 7

   Use the tips of your fingers to roll the triangle from the base to the tip.

8. 8

   Place the croissants seam side down on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.

9. 9

   Combine egg wash ingredients and brush the tops of the croissants.

10. 10

    Bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

11. 11

    Cool on a wire rack before serving.

12. 12

    All of these puff pastry items are best eaten the day they are made.
