  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry sheets to increase size slightly.
  3. Slice the rolled puff pastry into 4-inch squares for stacking ingredients.
  4. Layer ham and shredded cheese on half of the pastry squares, then top with remaining squares and seal the edges.
  5. Whisk together an egg with water to create an egg wash and brush evenly over the tops.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
  7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
