Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
- Start by laying one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a clean surface or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into a rectangle measuring approximately 10x12 inches.
- Spread 1.5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly across the surface of the rolled pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Place six slices of quality deli ham evenly over the mustard, followed by one cup of grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese.
- Starting from one long edge of the pastry rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Trim the ends of the log for a clean presentation.
- Wrap the rolled pastry log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
- Repeat steps 1 to 5 with a second sheet of puff pastry, using the remainder of the Dijon mustard, deli ham, and cheese.
- While the second log chills, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- After chilling, remove the pastry logs from the refrigerator and slice each log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the ham and cheese pinwheels from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
