How to Make Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out the Dough
Lay the puff pastry or crescent roll dough flat on a clean surface. If using mustard, spread a thin layer over the dough.
3. Layer with Ham and Cheese
Evenly place the ham slices over the dough, followed by a generous sprinkling of cheese.
4. Roll and Slice
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into ½- to 1-inch thick rounds.
5. Brush and Bake
Place pinwheels on the baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for a glossy finish. Sprinkle with optional toppings.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
