Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Cut the ham into tiny pieces and put them in a bowl. Add the grated cheese, the garlic and herbs if using, then stir in the crème fraîche or cream cheese well. The mixture should only be slightly moist so it holds together better.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut each pastry sheet into 8 rectangles on its backing paper. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and brush it onto the edges.
Put a little of the filling on a rectangle (not too much, or most of it runs out), fold one corner of the long side over the filling, then the other corner over that, and shape into a crescent. Twist the outer ends well so nothing can leak; everything must be well sealed.
Put the crescents on the tray, prick them with a fork and brush them with the egg yolk mixed with a little cream.
Bake on the middle rack for about 15 minutes and, as always, keep an eye on them!
