Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 6 slices prosciutto
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 cup fresh arugula
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dust your work surface lightly with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle if it isn’t pre-rolled.

Step 3

Lay the prosciutto slices evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly across the top of the prosciutto.

Step 5

Distribute the fresh arugula in a thin, even layer over the cheese.

Step 6

Starting from the longer side of the rectangle, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal spirals.

Step 7

Place the spirals cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to expand while baking.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of each spiral with the egg wash.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

While the spirals are baking, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and reaches a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the spirals from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the spirals before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
