Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 lb ham, thinly sliced

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1-2 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package instructions, then roll it out and spread it evenly in a jelly roll pan or a 10″ x 13″ baking dish. |
| 2 | Begin layering your ingredients: Start with half of the thinly sliced ham, followed by half of the shredded Swiss and mozzarella cheeses. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of parsley flakes over the cheese layer. Then repeat with the remaining ham and cheeses. |
| 3 | In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Accent seasoning, Tabasco sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring all ingredients are moistened. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture for later use. |
| 4 | Roll out another sheet of puff pastry and place it over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Lightly brush the reserved egg mixture over the top of the pastry. Use a fork to pinch the edges of the pastry together, sealing in the savory filling. Pierce the top pastry layer with a knife to allow steam to escape during baking. |
| 5 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the Ham & Cheese Pastry in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and lightly crisp. |
| 6 | Once baked to perfection, remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy the melty goodness of ham and cheese in every bite! |
