Happiness is ham and cheese wrapped up in flaky puff pastry. If you are looking for an easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner – this is it. I took hot pockets to a whole new level and stuffed them with delicious ham, pepper jack cheese, a touch of whole grain mustard, and crumbled sage.
You can fill these with any cheese of your choice, but I love a little kick from the pepper jack. I used fresh sage from my kitchen and dried it in the oven.
I like the edges to be nice and golden brown.
