Description
Delicious savory rollups made with puff pastry, ham, and cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 slices sliced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 egg (beaten with a tablespoon of water for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds for garnish
- 1 tablespoon butter for greasing
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it’s even and smooth. If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry for added flavor.
-
Assemble the Rollups: Lay slices of ham evenly over the pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the ham.
-
Roll and Cut: Gently roll the pastry tightly into a log shape. Cut the log into individual rollups, about 1-1.5 inches thick.
-
Prepare for Baking: Place the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking tray. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish. Sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on each rollup for additional texture and flavor.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the rollups to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm, as they are at their most flavorful and flaky.
Notes
- Use cold pastry dough to ensure that it puffs up nicely when baked.
- Experiment with different cheese and ham varieties for unique flavors.
- For a spicy kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before rolling.
- These rollups can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving to ensure freshness.
