Ingredients :
Puff Pastry: 1 sheet (about 250 g), thawed
Ham: 150 g (6 slices), thinly sliced
Cheese: 1 cup (100 g), shredded (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
Mustard (optional): 2 tablespoons (Dijon or yellow mustard)
Egg Wash: 1 egg, beaten
Instructions :
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, if needed.
- Add the Fillings:
Spread a thin layer of mustard over the pastry, if using.
Evenly layer the ham slices across the pastry, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Roll and Chill:
Starting from one long side, roll the pastry tightly into a log.
Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
- Slice into Pinwheels:
Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
- Bake:
Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush each with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve:
Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving.
