Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed overnight in the refrigerator)
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (divided)
12 slices thinly-sliced, good-quality deli ham (about 10 ounces)
2 cups freshly grated gruyere (Swiss, fontina, sharp cheddar, or similar melty cheese (about 5 ounces))
Chopped fresh parsley (thyme, or chives (optional, for serving))

Steps:

  • Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter (I pressed two long sheets together at the edges to create a single larger sheet). Unfold the first sheet of puff pastry in the center of the plastic, then roll it into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Lay 6 ham slices on top, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
  • Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log. Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the log with the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining mustard, ham, and cheese. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Once the log has chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices. (If each log is 12 inches, you will get 24 rolls from each one). Arrange the rolls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the puff pastry is light golden brown and the cheese is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with chopped thyme, parsley, or chives as desired. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors of pinwheels. Some popular fillings include cream cheese and ham, tuna salad, egg salad, and chicken salad.
  • If you are using a spreadable filling, such as cream cheese or tuna salad, spread it evenly over the tortilla before rolling it up. If you are using a non-spreadable filling, such as ham or chicken, place it in the center of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  • To make the pinwheels easier to cut, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
