I made this appetizer for a party, and people kept raving about it.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
In a bowl, combine the chopped ham, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture in the center of each square.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the beaten egg.
Fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.
Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try using Swiss cheese instead of cheddar, or add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for warmth. You can also experiment with different types of mustard, such as whole grain or spicy brown, for a unique twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
