Ingredients:
- 16 discs of puff pastry
- 200 g of cooked ham

Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: Begin by selecting your fillings, ensuring they complement each other. The classic combination of cooked ham and sliced cheese always works wonderfully.
- Stuff and Roll: Gently place your chosen fillings on each disc of puff pastry. Carefully roll them up to encapsulate the stuffing, creating a small pocket of delectable flavors.
- Prepare for Baking: Once rolled, place your stuffed pastries in a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for uniform baking.
- Egg Wash and Sesame Seeds: Whisk an egg and brush it over the pastries, providing them with a beautiful, golden finish once baked. For an extra touch of flavor and aesthetics, sprinkle sesame seeds atop the egg wash.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (approximately 356 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the pastries for 10 minutes, or until they puff up and take on a tantalizingly golden hue.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow them to cool slightly before serving, then watch as your guests delight in the crispy, flavorful pockets.
