Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry sheets
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Remove the puff pastry from the package and let it thaw at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until it's pliable.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the chopped parsley until evenly combined.

Step 4

Gently unfold one puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Lay 3 slices of prosciutto over the cream cheese, covering the surface evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the prosciutto for added flavor.

Step 7

Starting at one short edge of the pastry, tightly roll the sheet into a log. Repeat the process with the second pastry sheet and the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Place the logs on a plate and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up for easier slicing.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 10

Remove the logs from the refrigerator and slice each log into 1/2-inch-thick pinwheels. You should get about 8 pinwheels per log.

Step 11

Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash to promote a golden color during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These pinwheels are best served warm.
