Ham and Cheese Pinwheels Recipe

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your 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 to smooth out any creases.
3. Add the Filling:
   • Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the puff pastry sheet, if using.
   • Evenly layer the ham slices over the mustard.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the ham.
4. Roll and Slice:
   • Carefully roll the puff pastry sheet tightly into a log, starting from one of the longer edges.
   • Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
5. Prepare for Baking:
   • Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
   • Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve:
   • Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
