  • Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roll out puff pastry dough and using a sharp knife, cut dough into small rectangle shapes.
  • Place the rectangles on top of the ham filling in the skillet to cover, forming a top crust.
  • Brush puff pastry dough with milk.
  • Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly and piping hot.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
