How to Make Ham and Cheese Party Puffs:
- Unroll Wewalka Puff Pastry onto the package parchment paper or a lightly floured cutting board. Cut into 16 rectangles.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of peach or apricot jam onto each rectangle, top with ham and cheese.
- Fold two opposite corners together in the middle of each pressing them together.
- Place on a lined baking sheet and brush with a beaten egg.
- Bake for about 15 minutes at 425°.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary.
Serve hot out of the oven or at room temperature.
Easy appetizers are the best for holidays and parties and these Ham and Cheese Party Puffs are incredibly simple. You can even get the kids to help with these!
These puff pastry appetizers are just as delicious at room temperature as they are hot out of the oven.
I spotted Wewalka Puff Pastry at the grocery store in the refrigerated section and tried it out. I love that you don’t have to plan ahead and thaw it out. Planning is not my strong suit!
There are so many easy recipes you can make with Puff Pastry, like these Peanut Butter S’mores Sweet Rolls.
I contacted Wewalka to let them know just how much I loved their Puff Pastry and I am thrilled to partner with them on this recipe!
They also have the most amazing Pie Dough, Pizza Dough and Flat Bread Dough. Be sure to look for them to make all of your holiday recipes a cinch! Use the Wewalka Store Locator to find products near you.
Wewalka Puff Pastry is so easy to work with and bakes up perfectly every time. We used both the puff pastry and pie crust for our Venison Steak Pot Pie recently and my family just loved it.
Wewalka Puff Pastry comes wrapped in parchment paper, so you don’t even have to use flour and it’s the perfect thickness so you don’t have to roll it out.
My Pumpkin Pecan Pie recipe also features Wewalka Pie Crust. I’m just so impressed with the quality and how easy the crust is to work with and it tastes amazing.

what type of cheese do you recommend for these?
Hi Dory,
I used white cheddar. Swiss or colby-jack would also be great options.

No measurements are given on how to cut the puff pastry sheets? These look so good and just right for tea party food! Please help!
Thank you!
Hi Carol,
I cut the puff pastry into 16 squares. If you are using the Pepperidge Farm brand, I think each sheet will make 8 squares. I hope that helps.

Yes I’m using the Pepperidge farms brand. I’ve not done this before so the 8 squares are in inches wide ? By inches long? If it’s 8×8 does this make it a good size puff? I’m looking for a small size for tea party food so I’m trying to figure out what size would be good!
Thanks for your help just one more time!😊
Hi Carol,
I think about 3 1/2 inch squares. I hope that makes more sense.

Can these be frozen and brought to room temp or warmed?
I have not tried that but I do think it would work. Let me know how it turns out if you try it.

I am making these for Christmas Eve for the second year in a row. They’re great! I have also frozen them raw, then thawed and baked and they were good. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rebecca,
Great make ahead tip! I am so glad you enjoy the recipe, thanks for stopping by!

Lovely recipe. I brought these to a Christmas gathering yesterday, where I received many compliments on them. A few even asked how they were made, so they could do make in the future. My regret is I’m in Canada and the puff pastry that I purchased came in a package of two blocks, each block was 4“ x 4“, I had difficulties rolling it out into a nice square, so I could cut perfect squares. My first block I rolled to thin and got 12 uneven squares, the second block was much better then I was able to get nine 3” x 3” squares. Will definitely make this again. I baked these a short time before I had to leave and when I got to the hostess house, I popped them in the oven to warm them and they held up well.
Hi Bev,
I am so glad they were a hit for you. Great idea to bake half way and finish them at the party. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year!
