For the Pinwheels

  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Other options include white cheddar, pepper jack, or Gruyère for varied taste.

  • Baking Sheet
  • plastic wrap

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly flour your work surface.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on the counter until about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the puff pastry, leaving a small border.
  4. Lay down slices of baked ham, overlapping slightly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top of the ham.
  6. Starting from one short end, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
  7. Pinch the seam to seal it well.
  8. Wrap the rolled pastry log in plastic wrap and chill for 20-30 minutes.
  9. Slice the log into ½ inch thick slices using a serrated knife.
  10. Place each slice upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  11. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  12. Let cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving.
