Ham & Cheese Turnovers are stuffed with the beloved combination of savory ham and melty, sharp cheese, with plenty of tangy mustard to help cut through all the meaty richness.

Ingredients
- flour to taste, for dusting the work surface
- 1 (17.3-ounce 2-count) box puff pastry, thawed
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard plus more, to taste, for serving
- 8 ounces ham chopped
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using the flour, lightly dust a work surface.
- On the prepared surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are approximately 12-inch squares.
- Cut each of the puff pastry sheets into 4 equal squares.
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the Dijon mustard onto each of the pastry squares, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Spoon 1 ounce of the ham and 1 heaping tablespoon of the cheddar cheese onto the center of each of the pastry squares.
- Take one corner of each of the pastry squares and fold it to meet the opposite corner, covering the filling and forming a triangle.
- Press the edges of the folded pastry squares with a fork to seal.
- In a small bowl, add the egg, the water, and the garlic powder and whisk to combine into an egg wash.
- Evenly brush the pastry triangles on the tops and sides with the egg wash.
- Using a knife or a fork, cut or prick a small vent into the top of each of the turnovers.
- Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden-brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve with the extra Dijon mustard.
