Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels (Page 1 ) | February 17, 2025

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 6–8 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the puff pastry:
   • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape.
3. Layer the ingredients:
   • If using, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry.
   • Place the slices of ham evenly across the pastry.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the ham, spreading it evenly.
4. Roll the pastry:
   • Starting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Seal the edge by pressing gently.
5. Chill the roll:
   • Place the rolled pastry in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes. This makes slicing easier.
6. Slice into pinwheels:
   • Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled roll into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
7. Prepare the pinwheels for baking:
   • Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each pinwheel.
   • Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or parsley if desired.
8. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed.
9. Serve:
   • Let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature as an appetizer, snack, or party treat.
