I have given them the very descriptive name of Ham and Cheese Pastry Thingies. I am able to buy puff pastry in 15cm (around 6 inch) squares in the freezer section for a reasonable price, so that's what I use for these. I like to make these every now and then when Martijn and I are home on a weekend and are having an attack of the munchies. They're quick to put together and quite tasty!
This is tricky to really classify as a recipe because it's sooooo easy, but here goes!
For each "Thingie" you'll need 1 sheet of puff pastry, 1 tbsp shredded cheese, and one slice of ham that you've chopped into bits.
Spritz some baking spray into a muffin cup and lay a sheet of puff pastry over it. Press it into the muffin cup gently to make a little "pastry cup." Sprinkle the cheese and ham into the pastry and then bring all of the corners of the pastry together. Bake at 400 F (200 C) for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry has "puffed" and is a nice golden brown.
Really, you can put whatever filling you'd like into these! Some other ideas that I've had are broccoli and cheese, red bell pepper and cream cheese, turkey and swiss... the possibilities are endless!
