Honey Mustard Ham & Swiss Puff Pastry Handwiches
You can use lunch meat or if you have leftover ham from the holidays to use in this recipe. My family loves it with shaved ham from the deli. But I have saved back holiday ham and sliced thin and no one complained, so I took that as a win.
Where To Buy Puff Pastry
If you have never used puff pastry you can buy it in the freezer section at your store. It will be in a box by your freezer. Or if you are a fan of making homemade puff pastry feel free to whip up a batch to use for this recipe.
I find that the frozen puff pastry works great and does have a similar taste to freshly made puff pastry, so I cut the corner and just buy it.
Can I Change Up The Meat Used In This Recipe
Yes, you are welcome to use other meat. Turkey would be good and even roast beef if you have some on hand. Or do a duo of meat like ham and salami or turkey and ham.
Feel free to get creative with the meat and what you put in the sandwich. You can also swap out the cheese if you prefer.
