These are my absolute weakness and I make them every Christmas Eve without fail. Prosciutto, cheese, puff pastry, oh my they are so delicious.

They sell cheese and bacon turnovers in our local delicatessen and when I’m feeling reckless I add one to my grocery order and scoff it up on my way home, then I regret not buying ten. I thought I’d make my version with prosciutto as they cook even quicker as you don’t have to wait for the bacon to crisp up. I’m so delighted that they are as quick as a flash to make and so will you be when you try them. Be warned they are additive.
