And these Monte Cristo breakfast bites are so easy to make with only a few ingredients and a super quick prep.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Ham– Deli ham, ham steak, or leftover ham all work. Just dice it up!
- Swiss cheese– Shredded
- Honey mustard dressing– Your favorite brand
- Puff Pastry– 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry dough
- Salt and pepper– To taste
- Egg wash ingredients– An egg and water
How to Make
Monte Cristo breakfast bites are so easy to make.
Just stir together the ham, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard together in a small mixing bowl.
Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
Then cut the puff pastry into 12 even squares.
Press each square into the well of a muffin tin you’ve sprayed with nonstick spray.
Spoon the filling evenly into each cup.
Then make the egg wash by whisking the egg together with a tablespoon of water and brushing it over the edges of the pastry dough.
Bake at 425 for 15 to 18 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge.
Reheat them in a hot oven or a microwave until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
- If you wanted a sweeter version, you could skip the honey mustard and use maple syrup instead.
- For a sweeter version, you could also dust the top with powdered sugar.
- You could substitute turkey or even add other toppings like grilled onions to the cups depending on what your regional Monte Cristo sandwich is.
