  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry to about ⅛-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border.
  4. Sprinkle grated mozzarella and Parmesan over the mustard layer, and add prosciutto if using.
  5. Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling, and slice into 1.5-inch squares.
  6. Arrange squares on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
