A new spin on ham and cheese, these yummy pinwheels have lunch all rolled up.
Ingredients
1 450-g pkg puff pastry sheets, thawed in refrigerator
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
200 g deli-sliced Black Forest ham
2 cups baby spinach, optional
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
Unroll puff pastry sheets on the counter. Brush mustard on both sheets. Lay ham, then spinach in an even layer over mustard. Tightly roll up 1 sheet in jelly-roll fashion. Line up roll at the edge of second puff pastry sheet, then roll all the way up to make 1 giant roll. Slice into 8 rounds, about 1½ in. thick. Lay rounds, cut-side down, 2 in. apart on prepared sheet.
Bake in centre of oven until buns are deep golden, about 30 min. Sprinkle tops with cheese and bake until melted, about 5 more min. Transfer to a rack and let stand for 5 min.
