tasty, easy-to-prepare finger food

Separate the egg. Mix the egg yolk with the yogurt. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the puff pastry and let it thaw. Brush the bottom edge of five sheets with egg white and place another sheet on top. Press firmly to ensure it sticks. You now have five long strips of puff pastry. Finely chop the parsley, chives, and basil and mix with the cream cheese. Spread this mixture onto the puff pastry strips, leaving a 1/2 cm border at one end. Place a slice of ham on each strip and sprinkle with the cheese. Roll up lengthwise, loosely so that the free edge is on the outside. Brush this edge with egg white to seal the rolls. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into about 8 slices (each about 1 cm thick). Arrange these slices on one or two baking sheets (be careful not to let the cheese fall out!) and brush them with the egg yolk and yogurt mixture. Bake at 180°C for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown (depending on the thickness of the slices, so be careful!). Serve warm. A lovely snack for guests. The snails pair well with wine or beer.
