Puff Pastry Bundles with Raw Ham, Burrata, and Marjoram

I can provide you with the recipe to prepare delicious puff pastry bundles with raw ham, burrata, and marjoram. Here are the ingredients and the preparation method.

Ingredients

• 4 squares of puff pastry (about 10x10 cm each)
• 8 slices of raw ham
• 1 medium-sized burrata
• Fresh marjoram to taste
• 1 egg (for brushing)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390 °F).
2. Slightly roll out each square of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
3. Place 2 slices of raw ham in the center of each puff pastry square.
4. Cut the burrata into 4 equal parts and place a piece in the center of each square on top of the raw ham.
5. Season the burrata with a pinch of salt, pepper, and chopped fresh marjoram leaves.
6. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to help seal the bundles.
7. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling to form the bundles, pressing the edges well to seal them.
8. Brush the surface of each bundle with the beaten egg and make a small cut on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
9. Transfer the bundles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

For an extra Italian touch, you can drizzle these delicious bundles with raw extra virgin olive oil and serve them with a fresh salad or a side of grilled vegetables.

Curiosity

Raw ham and burrata are two excellences of Italian cuisine, often used together to create simple but flavor-rich dishes. Marjoram, with its delicate fragrance, adds a touch of lightness and aroma that pairs well with the sweetness of the burrata and the bold flavor of the ham.
