This simple appetizer recipe always has its little effect. You can even make it with the kids. Roll out a roll of puff pastry and sprinkle with 100g of grated cheese. Then spread over three slices of white ham cut into strips. Roll half of the dough in one direction then the other half of the dough in the other direction. Chill for at least 1 hour before cutting the double roll thus formed into small slices about 5 mm thick. Place the slices on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for about 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Fancy a change from the traditional savory cakes? Try gougères. These small puffs filled with cheese are easy to make and always have a great effect. The recipe is as follows:melt 75 g of butter in a saucepan. Add 25 cl of water and 1 pinch of salt. Remove from the heat, add 150 g of flour all at once and mix briskly with a spatula.
