- This recipe has been published, but I don't know where. I only have the recipe, not the creator, though I would love to give appropriate credit.
- VARIATIONS: Spoon mixture into puff pastry shells and serve as bite sized appetizers or at pot luck for easy serving. I have also divided the pastry into single serve sizes and froze after baking for a quick grab lunch. Reheating works best in a toaster oven rather than microwave.
- Today I added small strips of Swiss cheese for a little more flavor. I did not have poppy seeds on hand so I omitted them. It is really up to you what kind of flavors you want to mix in with the ham and cream cheese mixture. Just about anything will work.
- Having trimmed the pastry, I had some extra. I decided to make a bite size packet which you also see in the photo. The variations are endless. You could make bitesize packets for easier serving at a potluck or as an appetizer.
- I recommend lining your cookie sheet with so foil. There is some seepage that will burn onto your cookie sheet. This just makes quick clean up.
- Give your loaf a few minutes to set up after taking it out of the oven. It will be easier to cut and serve if it has h ad time to solidify a bit. Otherwise, it will be very gooey.
- Ready to serve and ENJOY!
