Deli Squares

Ingredients:

  • 1 (17 oz) box frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 12 slices mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 6-8 slices deli ham
  • 6-8 slices deli turkey
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/3 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
    • Unroll the thawed puff pastry and use a rolling pin to slightly thin and enlarge the dough.
    • Place one sheet of the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the dough.
    • Bake the pastry for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
  3. Prepare the Sauce:
    • While the pastry bakes, mix together the mayo and spicy brown mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the Deli Squares:
    • After the initial bake, allow the pastry to cool slightly, then gently press down the middle to flatten it.
    • Start layering the fillings: place 6 slices of mozzarella cheese on the flattened pastry, followed by the deli ham and turkey.
    • Spoon the mayo-mustard mixture over the meats and spread evenly.
    • Add the roasted red peppers, sliced red onion, and arugula.
  5. Top and Seal:
    • Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the layered fillings.
    • Use a fork to crimp the edges together, sealing the squares.
    • Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the deli squares warm or chilled, as desired.
