Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry
• 200 grams Cooked ham
• 150 grams Swiss cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Water
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0 to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle, approximately 12x10 inches (30x25 cm).

Step 3

Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border along the edges.

Step 4

Layer the cooked ham evenly over the mustard. Follow with an even layer of Swiss cheese slices.

Step 5

Sprinkle chopped parsley and dried oregano over the cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Seal the edges and edges of the log by pinching them together gently.

Step 7

Place the rolled strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of the strudel with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on the top of the strudel to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the strudel from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Slice the strudel into 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
