Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Swirls

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about ⅛-inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly across the pastry, leaving a small border along the edges.
Layer the ham, shredded cheese, and black pepper evenly on top of the mustard.
Tightly roll the pastry from one long edge into a log shape and pinch the seam closed.
Slice the rolled log into 12 pieces, each about 1 cm (½ inch) thick, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Whisk the egg and milk together and brush the mixture over the top of each swirl.
Bake the swirls for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown, then cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. For storage, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze unbaked for up to 2 months.
