Title: Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups Pinwheels
Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 6 slices of ham
– 6 slices of Swiss cheese
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it out to ensure it’s even and smooth.
3. Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Layer the ham slices on top of the mustard-covered puff pastry sheet, making sure to cover the entire surface.
5. Place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham, evenly covering the entire sheet.
6. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the cheese layer for added flavor.
7. Starting from one end, tightly roll the puff pastry sheet into a log, making sure to keep it compact as you roll.
8. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into ½-inch thick slices to create pinwheels.
9. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly to allow for expansion during baking.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
12. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
