Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. If frozen, let the puff pastry thaw according to package instructions.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional parsley until smooth and well combined.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer the sliced ham evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each sheet, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll up each pastry sheet into a log. Use a bit of water on the edge to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 6 equal pieces to make 12 rolls total.
Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the top of each roll for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
