Apricot Prosciutto Puff Pastry Braid

A little bit sweet and a little bit savory, this Apricot Prosciutto Puff Pastry Braid brings prosciutto and cheese together with the sweet touch of apricot preserves. A welcome addition to any brunch.

INGREDIENTS

– puff pastry – apricot preserves – prosciutto – fontina  – gruyere

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry dough into a rectangle that is about 10 inches across and 16 inches long.

1

Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper that is slightly larger than the dough.

2

Trim back the four corners, by removing a 1" by 3 1/2" rectangle from each corner, leaving a 3" wide space in the middle. This will give you the tails to fold over and serve as your guide for cutting the strips.

3

Mix together the apricot preserves and water, then brush onto the pastry dough. Move any chunks of apricot to the center.

4

Cut 1" wide strips up each side of the pastry dough, leaving about a 3" gap in the middle to form the center of the braid. Aim for the same number and width of strips on each side.
