These ham, gruyere and artichoke pastry twists are an easy and elegant appetizer! This is a perfect recipe for the upcoming holiday season!

Now that we are full on into fall, it’s time to start thinking about food. Well, not that I don’t always think about food, but that’s a different problem. With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, I’ve been playing with some new recipes. Specifically appetizers, since I could just live off of those.

I don’t know why I haven’t used puff pastry more. It’s fun to use, you can’t really go wrong and it looks like you put a lot of effort into your dish. But it’s simple.

I love the combo of ham, gruyere and artichoke. You really can’t go wrong. This Applewood Quartered Ham is from Frick’s Quality Meats and it is delicious. I love that it’s presliced, it makes things so easy.

These ham, gruyere and artichoke pastry twists are pretty much perfect for any meal. Cut the dough a little thicker and you have a delicious breakfast pastry to snack on in the morning. Or make them thinner and dunk them in your soup at lunch. They are perfect as a pre-dinner appetizer as well. You can’t lose with these!

• 1/3 cup artichoke hearts, drained and diced
