Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Cheese Pinwheels
  1. Lay one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a 10x12-inch rectangle.
  2. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  3. Evenly distribute 6 slices of deli ham over the mustard layer, followed by 1 cup of grated cheese.
  4. Tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape, trimming off the ends for a clean edge. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  5. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry, mustard, ham, and cheese to make another log.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Slice the chilled logs into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place cut-side up on the baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
