Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry or bread dough (pre-made or homemade)
- 200g sliced ham
- 200g sliced cheese (such as Swiss or cheddar)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). - Prepare the Dough:
– Roll out the puff pastry or bread dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. - Layer the Ingredients:
– Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the dough if desired.
– Lay slices of ham evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
– Place the cheese slices on top of the ham. - Roll the Dough:
– Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides. Seal the edges by pinching the dough together. - Prepare for Baking:
– Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
– Brush the top with melted butter and then with the beaten egg to achieve a golden crust.
– Make several diagonal slashes across the top with a sharp knife. - Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the roll is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. - Garnish and Serve:
– Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
– Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is cold before rolling to maintain its flakiness.
- Experiment with different cheeses or add herbs and spices to the filling for variety.
- Serve with a side salad or dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli, for added flavor.
- For a crispier texture, allow the roll to cool slightly before slicing.
