Ingredients

For the filling

For the dough

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling
    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ham, onions, parsley, and sour cream. Stir well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

    ⏳ Allow the filling to rest for 1-2 hours for the flavors to meld together.

  2. Prepare the Dough
    Follow your preferred basic yeast dough recipe until ready to roll out.

  3. Shape the Ham Pockets

    • Roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface.
    • Cut the rolled dough into triangles.
    • Place a generous spoonful of the filling at the wide end of each triangle.
    • Roll the triangle from the wide end to the point to form a croissant shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.

    ⚠️ Make sure the filling is not too wet to prevent a soggy pastry!

  4. Bake

    • Arrange the filled croissants on a greased baking sheet.
    • Brush the tops with the egg yolk (you can mix it with a bit of milk for a shinier finish).
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for about 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

  5. Serve

    • Enjoy these tasty Ham Pockets warm out of the oven! They serve approximately 20 people, making them perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Tips

🍽️ For a twist, try adding a bit of grated cheese to the filling for extra flavor!
🌱 Feel free to experiment with herbs like thyme or chives to enhance the taste of the filling.
