Ingredients
 

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 8 - 10 slices ham
  • 8 - 10 slices smoked turkey
  • 2 cups shredded Creamy Havarti cheese
  • 1 egg (+ 1 Tablespoon water)

For the sauce:

  • 1/3 cup raspberry preserves
  • 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Thaw the puff pastry until it's easy to work with. it should be cold, but rollable.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about a 16 by 12 inch rectangle. Top with a layer of ham slices, slightly overlapping, followed by a layer of turkey slices. Spread the shredded cheese evenly overly the meats.
  • Starting on the long end of the rectangle, roll the puff pastry up into a log. Use a fork to whisk together the egg and the water in a small bowl. Brush the log with the egg wash, then slice it into 14-16 rounds. Place the rounds on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between each one. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cheese is melted and puff pastry is golden.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the raspberry and dijon. Serve the monte cristo bites warm with the raspberry dipping sauce.

Notes

  • The raspberry might seem out of place, but it's the classic pairing with the sandwich and I highly recommend it.
