Ingredients
  

Ham & Swiss Puff Pastry Pinwheel Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 6-8 slices Black Forest deli ham thinly sliced
  • 6-8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2-3 tbs Dijon mustard
  • 1 Egg for egg wash

Goat Cheese & Kalamata Puff Pastry Pinwheel Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 ounces Goat cheese soft-spreadable log
  • 2 tbs Kalamata olives drained and chopped
  • 1 tbs Fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 Egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pastry — Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to smooth seams.
  • Add the filling — Spread a thin layer of mustard (Ham & Swiss) or softened goat cheese (Goat Cheese & Kalamata) over the pastry, leaving a ½-inch border.
  • Layer toppings — Add ham + Swiss slices OR sprinkle chopped olives, basil, and rosemary over the goat cheese.
  • Roll it up — Starting from the long side, brush a little egg wash along the edge to help seal, then roll the pastry tightly into a log, seam side down.
  • Slice — Use a sharp serrated knife to cut into ¾ inch pinwheels. Place each slice cut-side up on the baking sheet.
  • Brush with egg wash — Lightly brush tops and edges with whisked egg + 1 tablespoon water.
  • Bake — Bake 17 minutes for ham & Swiss and 15 minutes for Kalamata olive pinwheels, or until puffed, golden, and the cheese is melted.
