Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced ham
• 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or whole grain)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle shape.

Add the Layers: Spread the mustard evenly over the puff pastry. Layer the thinly sliced ham on top, covering the mustard. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the ham.

Roll and Slice: Starting at one of the long sides, roll the pastry up tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch.

Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and puffed up.

Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature.
