Pizza Bites

Instructions

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 180 °C, prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
• 2
  Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 20 equally sized squares.
• 3
  In a small bowl, mix ketchup with oregano and basil, and spread the mixture over each pastry square, leaving about 2 mm from the edges dry.
• 4
  Now, arrange slices of Gouda and ham on 10 squares in such a way that they also do not touch the edges of the pastry and do not extend beyond the ketchup mixture. Cover these prepared squares with the remaining ones, coated side down, and arrange the resulting pockets on the lined baking sheet.
• 5
  Crack 1 egg into a cup and mix it with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the individual pockets with this mixture using a pastry brush, then make several cuts on top with a knife.
• 6
  Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the pockets for 25–30 minutes at 180–190 °C.
• 7
  Remove the baked pockets from the oven, let them cool for at least 30 minutes, then serve.
