A ham and cheese pocket that borrows from the viral rice paper pastry trend but skips the oven entirely. The waffle iron melts the cheese and crisps the wrapper on both sides at once, in about a third of the time an oven takes.

Steps

1
Dip a sheet of rice paper in warm water for 1 to 2 seconds until pliable, then lay it flat.
2
Layer a slice of ham, a spoonful of cheese and a small smear of dijon mustard onto the lower half.
3
Fold the wrapper over the filling and press the edges to seal, using just the one sheet.
4
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5
Brush each pocket with the beaten egg wash.
6
Preheat a waffle iron and lightly spray both plates with oil. Cook the pockets for 3 to 5 minutes until golden, crisp, and the cheese has melted.

Try it this way

Swap the ham for turkey and the dijon for whole grain mustard.
