Pin This RecipeDelicious Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry Slab Pies
I am a sucker for anything ham & cheese. This Ham & Cheese Slab Pie is no exception! Puff pastry filled with ham, Swiss cheese, cream cheese and honey mustard. YUM! SO simple, yet SO delicious!! We like to serve the pies with some extra honey mustard for dipping.
How to Make Ham and Cheese Slab Pies
The crust for these slab pies are made from store-bought puff pastry. It is in the freezer section. You will want to thaw the puff pastry before assembling the pies. The pies come together in minutes. Just lay the puff pastry flat, place ham, honey mustard, and Swiss cheese on half of the puff pastry. Fold the other half over and seal the edges with a fork. Brush the assembled pies with an egg wash so they get that pretty golden color and bake.
- I used some very thinly sliced deli ham. I prefer Boars Head Virginia Brand Ham. Don’t skimp on the ham! It is the main flavor in these pies. You don’t want cheap ham.
- I used Swiss cheese in these Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry Slab Pies. Feel free to swap it for your favorite cheese – cheddar, Monterey jack or gouda might be nice.
Can You Freeze these Ham & Cheese Puff Pastry Slab Pies?
Absolutely!! This recipe makes two slab pies. You can bake one now and freeze one unbaked for later. I love recipes that are double-duty! If baking after freezing, thaw the slab pies and bake as directed below.

can you prep this a head of time and leave it in the refrigerator?
yes
Thanks.
What can I use instead of honey mustard. Not a favorite at my house. I though of plain mustard, but some don't like that either!!
Whatever you normally use in place of mustard in your house should be just fine.
can these be served at room temp or are they only best if right out of the oven ?
Either way is fine.
I love sections about freezing and side dishes you've been adding. Those are always my questions as I read the recipe. THANK YOU!!
Yay! I'm so glad to hear the new format is helpful!
omg – ham & cheese and puff pastry – i want some now!!!!
