Prep the dough:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out puff pastry (or unroll crescent dough and pinch seams to form a rectangle).
Layer:
Spread Dijon mustard or cream cheese over the dough (if using).
Lay ham slices evenly on top, then sprinkle shredded cheese.
Roll:
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
Slice into 1-inch pieces and place cut side up on the baking sheet.
Bake:
Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Sprinkle with Italian herbs if desired.
Bake 15–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Serve:
Enjoy warm as a snack, appetizer, or quick meal.
Variations:
Breakfast style: Add scrambled eggs before rolling.
Spicy twist: Use pepper jack cheese and a drizzle of hot sauce.
Kid-friendly: Use mozzarella and a little pizza sauce for “pizza pinwheels.”
