Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Fill and Cut

Unroll the puff pastry onto the parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with grated cheese, then evenly distribute the finely diced ham and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into approximately 24-30 equal-sized squares or rectangles.

Bake

Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then brush it over the edges of the pastry. Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve warm.

Extra Tips

► Don't overload the pastry with too many toppings, as it will bake less evenly and be less crispy.

► Use parchment paper to prevent the bites from sticking and make cleanup easier.

► Experiment with different toppings like olives, corn, or mushrooms for variety.
