Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed frozen puff pastry to about ⅛-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly across the surface of the pastry.
  4. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the mustard layer, followed by the chopped prosciutto if using. Season with black pepper.
  5. Fold the pastry in half to cover the filling and press down the edges to seal them well. Cut the folded pastry into 1.5-inch squares.
  6. Whisk an egg until smooth and brush it over the tops of the pastry squares.
  7. Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These bites can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Adjust the filling according to your taste preferences.
