Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality Parmesan cheese and prosciutto. Look for cheese that is aged at least 12 months and prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a sweet, nutty flavor.
To make the assembly process easier, chill the puff pastry dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass jar to roll out the dough.
Be careful not to overcook the appetizers. They should be baked until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the appetizers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Parmesan ham appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive appetizer that everyone will love.
