These savory Stuffed Puff Pastry Pockets also known as Fagottini or Saccottini are filled the perfect Italian Filling, prosciutto, mozzarella and thinly sliced potato slices.
1sheet puff pastry (rectangle size)(14x20 inches / 34x51 cm approximate)
1mediumpotato (round if possible)
6slicesfirm mozzarella
6slices prosciutto or cooked ham (thinly sliced)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the rectangular sheet of puff pastry and gently roll a couple of time to smooth it out. Cut it lengthwise down the middle, then cut into three even parts. There will be 6 small rectangles.
The top part of every rectangle, place a slice of prosciutto, 3 or 4 very thin slices of potato and a slice of cheese, be sure to leave a 1/4 inch border. Fold the bottom half over the top, gently seal the edges with your fingers, then seal shut with the tongs of a fork, dip the fork in a water while sealing.
Make 3-4 small slits on the top of each envelope with a very sharp knife or scissors. Place the pockets on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden. If they start to brown too quickly cover the pockets with a sheet of foil and continue baking. Immediately place on a wire race, and let cool about one minute, then serve.
Notes
Make sure to slice the potatoes very very thin, I used the thinnest blade on my mandoline slicer.
