Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 slices ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, ensuring it’s even for the best swirls.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the ham slices over the mustard, creating a hearty layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the ham, followed by a light dusting of black pepper.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the pastry into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the log into 12 slices about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk the egg and milk together to make an egg wash and brush it over the tops of the swirls.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Notes
Leftover swirls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
