Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Directions

• Prepare the Puff Pastry:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape (if it’s not already).
• Add the Filling:
  • Spread a thin layer of mustard over the puff pastry (optional).
  • Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the mustard.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the ham.
  • Sprinkle dried herbs over the cheese, if desired.
• Roll and Slice:
  • Roll the pastry tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
• Assemble and Bake:
  • Place the pinwheels flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
• Serve:
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
