Dijon Ham Braid
I found this recipe in one of the first cookbooks I received in my collection. It is very easy to make and serve up at potlucks and picnics.—Joyce L Mitchell, Kilmarnock, Virginia
8 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min.
Ingredients
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups diced fully cooked ham
1 cup frozen peas
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the cream cheese, milk and mustard. Cook
over low heat for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, stirring
occasionally. Add the ham and peas; set aside.
On an ungreased baking sheet, roll pastry into a 15-in. x 10-in.
rectangle. Spread ham mixture down the center third of rectangle.
On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips to within 1/2 in. of
filling. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle
across filling; pinch ends to seal. Combine egg yolk and water;
brush over braid. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
