Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 150 grams sliced ham
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 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
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.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional parsley until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 5
Layer the sliced ham evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each sheet, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 6 equal pieces to make 12 rolls total.
Step 8
Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
