Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Deli ham
• 150 grams Swiss cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Optional: sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually about 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Set aside.

Step 4

Lay out one puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of Dijon mustard across the entire sheet.

Step 5

Layer half of the deli ham evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Add half of the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Carefully roll the pastry sheet into a tight log starting from one edge and sealing the seam with a little egg wash. Brush more egg wash along the edges to seal completely.

Step 8

Repeat this process with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining ham and cheese.

Step 9

Place both prepared logs onto a cutting board and chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.

Step 10

Remove from the freezer and use a sharp knife to slice each log into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 11

Place the slices cut side up onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.

Step 12

Brush the tops of each slice with the egg wash. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
