Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut each sheet into triangles, about 4-5 inches wide at the base.
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each triangle, adding salt and pepper.
- Roll the pastry from the base towards the tip, ensuring a tight but not too tight roll.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
