Savory Puff Pastry with Ham, Cheese, and Béchamel Sauce Recipe

1. 1. Make a Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt 30g butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 25g flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
   2. Add Milk: Gradually pour in 300ml milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook, whisking often, until the sauce thickens to your liking.
   3. Season the Sauce: Stir in 4g nutmeg, 5g black pepper, 10g salt, and 30g grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Finish and Serve:

1. 1. Cool and Serve: Once the puff pastry is golden brown, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
   2. Serve with Béchamel: Serve the warm puff pastry with the béchamel sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
   3. Garnish: Sprinkle finely chopped pickled cucumbers over the top for a burst of tangy flavor and extra texture.
