Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle (about 12×10 inches).
  3. Add spread (optional): Lightly spread Dijon mustard or mayonnaise over the pastry for extra flavor.
  4. Layer ham and cheese: Place the ham slices evenly over the puff pastry, then layer the cheese slices on top.
  5. Roll it up: Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log.
  6. Slice: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
  7. Prepare for baking: Place the pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  8. Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush the tops of the pinwheels with it to get that beautiful golden color.
  9. Bake: Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Serve warm: Enjoy them warm as a snack, appetizer, or party treat!
