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.
