Ingredients

- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ham, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

- Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (you’ll have 8 total).
- Place a spoonful of grated cheese (and ham, if using) on one half of each square.
- Fold over to form a triangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
- Mix the beaten egg with milk and brush over each pocket for a golden finish.
- Place on the prepared tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
