Assorted triangle puffs

This recipe may become a nice snack for a party or accompany you while watching TV... or just enrich a meal!!!
I usually prepare them when I have some leftover greens or some slices of ham that are not enough to be served by themselves.
  
INGREDIENTS:
Servings: 4

300g puff dough
5-6 slices of Speck
100g sautèed chard / spinach
50-100g Pecorino cheese
1 egg yolk


1. Chop greens, Speck, grate Pecorino cheese.
Note: What is SPECK? It's Italian raw ham (Prosciutto) slightly smoked, it's origin is from the mountain area called Alto Adige, the one that borders with Austria.
Note: You may substitute Speck with any type of ham or sausage, and Pecorino with any strong taste cheese.
 

2. Unroll ready puff dough and cut it into squares. I could make 15 squares, but it depends on how thin the dough was rolled out.

 3. We'll fill half of the puffs with the greens and cheese and the other half with Speck and cheese.  
To fill the puffs put some of Speck or chard and couple of pinches of cheese. Unite two opposite sides of the square to fix it and then pinch delicately the sides together. 
 


4.Press slightly the borders with the use of a fork. 

5. To distinguish one type of puffs from the other you can make straight and oblique cuts on the surface of the puffs, but make sure not to cut too much, that might result in leaking.


6. Using a silicon brush spread some egg yolk on top the puffs.
7. Cook the puffs in the oven at 200C for about 20 minute.


Enjoy!!! 
The only disadvantage of this dish is that it disappears in an instance!
