ham, spinach + cheese puffs

December 15, 2015 by kelly

imagine this. .

{ham, spinach + cheese puffs} such a fun way to use leftover dip for a brunch treat!

it’s the day after christmas.

your natural body alarm alerts you out of bed + scurries you to the kitchen with breakfast on the mind.

as you open up the leftover-stocked fridge, you remember that your favorite cousins are sleeping in the guest bedroom. now, while your rumbling tummy might be satisfied with a stale piece of avocado toast, the holiday spirit is still brimming inside persuading you that something a little more special should be made.

so, you open your freezer, toss a puff pastry on the counter to thaw + retire to your bathroom to brush your teeth, hair + the lint off of your ugly christmas sweater.

in under thirty minutes, you’re bright-eyed + look ready for the day. 

it’s back to the kitchen you go with easy entertaining on the mind.

the puff pastry is thawed + ready for brunch battle.

you grab a tupperware of leftover spinach dip + a few slices of serrano and cheddar from last night’s appetizer spread.

with a few cuts of your knife, a dainty spinach dip dollop + carefree layer of charcuterie, you my hosting friend, have nearly created the easiest brunch dish.

as you hear your house guests rustling in their room, you whisk up a quick egg wash, paint your dish with it’s final touches + glide it into the oven for the magic to happen.

by the time the 20 minutes have elapsed, you are lifting the bronzed beauties off the sheet pan + onto a serving platter!

as your family breaks off bites, you can smile ear-to-ear knowing that you made them feel like royalty – all while simply dishing out a few leftovers!

i used serrano ham because it was {and usually is after holiday hosting} what i had on hand! but leftovers from a spiral ham would be uber awesome!

tiny lightbulb

catamount cheese is from the brand Cabot + is exclusive to whole foods. after finding it, i am constantly searching for dishes to incorporate it in, therefore why i am super jazzed about it used here. BUT any cheese will do! i do suggest to stay on the white cheddar, swiss, parmesan end of the spectrum though. .
