Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss work great!)
• 6–8 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for a little tang)
• 1 egg (beaten) (for that golden shine)
• Italian seasoning or sesame seeds (optional, for extra flavor)

How to Make Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

1. Preheat & Prep: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out the Pastry: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry.
3. Add the Fillings: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry (if using). Layer ham slices evenly and sprinkle with cheese.
4. Roll It Up: Roll the pastry tightly into a log and slice it into ½-inch rounds.
5. Egg Wash & Bake: Place pinwheels on the baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning or sesame seeds.
6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve & Enjoy! Let them cool slightly before serving—if you can resist! 😋
