Viral Upside Down Puff Pastry with Ham & Cheese

My version of the viral upside down puff pastry is made with ham, fontina, caramelized shallots and garlic aioli. It’s such a delicious recipe hack and perfect for serving at brunch or as an appetizer.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet thawed out frozen Puff Pastry cut into 4 rectangles
  • 4 teaspoon Roasted Garlic Aioli + more for the drizzle!
  • 1 large Shallot cut lengthwise into 4 slices
  • 4 slices Rosemary Ham
  • 2 slices Fontina halved
  • 1 Egg whisked
  • 12 Candied Jalapeno slices ** optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add 4 1 teaspoon dots of Marie’s Squeezable Roasted Garlic Aioli evenly across the baking sheet.
  • Top each one with a slice of shallot, followed by a slice of ham and half a slice of fontina cheese.
  • Add a piece of puff pastry on top and smush down the edges to seal it close. Then use a fork to crimp the edges a little bit more.
  • Brush the exterior of the puff pastries with the whisked egg and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puff pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes then flip each puff pastry over and top with a drizzle of Marie’s Roasted Garlic Aioli.
  • Add a few candied jalapenos on top if you’re into that!
