  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until fully incorporated. Add milk; bring to a slow boil. Whisk until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add nutmeg, white pepper, cayenne, and salt. Remove from heat and let filling cool slightly. Add ham, mozzarella cheese, cranberries, and almonds.
  3. 3
    Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Brush lightly with melted butter. Cut into 9 equal squares. Stretch gently to enlarge and place squares, buttered side-down, into muffin cups. Divide filling evenly between the cups.

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
