Christmas Leftover Recipe: Ham, Cranberry, and Brie Pastries

Give your leftover Christmas ham a gourmet twist with these buttery, flaky pastries filled with ham, tangy cranberry sauce, and creamy brie. Perfect for brunch, snacks, or even a light meal!

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup diced leftover ham
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
  • 100g brie, sliced
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)

Method: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal squares. Place a small amount of ham, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and a slice of brie in the centre of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry into the middle to form a parcel, pinching to seal. Brush with beaten egg and place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and puffed. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired and serve warm.
