Pumpkin Patch Bites, Kira

1 box pie crust
6 oz sliced ham
8 oz sliced extra-sharp Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preparation
1. Heat oven to 425. Line baking sheet with nonstick foil.

2. On work surface, unroll pie crust and cut each of the 2 crusts into 12 pumpkin shapes with a 3-in. pumpkin cookie cutter. Using a 2-in. round cutter, cut 24 rounds from the sliced ham and cheese.

3. Put 2 slices each ham and cheese in the center of each 12 pumpkins. With a small brush, brush beaten egg around edges.

4. Top with remaining pumpkins, carefully pressing on edges to seal. Using a spoon, make ridges on pumpkins by pressing into tops in a few places. With a small knife, pierce ridges in a couple of places to vent.

5. Place on prepared pan. Brush top with beaten egg. Bake 10-12 minutes until light golden. Let cool on rack a couple of minutes before serving.
