Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels, perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces sliced deli ham
- 8 ounces sliced cheese (such as Swiss or cheddar)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth out creases.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each sheet of puff pastry, if using.
- Layer the sliced ham evenly over the pastry, followed by the cheese. Sprinkle with dried parsley, salt, and pepper if desired.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log. Repeat with the second sheet.
- Slice each log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
- Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the ham with sautéed spinach and mushrooms, and use a cheese of your choice.
- Add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices, such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning, to the cheese layer for extra flavor.
