Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until they are approximately 12x12 inches in size.
Cut each pastry sheet into four equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.
Place a slice of ham on each square of pastry, followed by a slice of cheese.
If using, spread a small amount of Dijon mustard on each slice of cheese.
Carefully roll up each pastry square, starting from one corner and rolling diagonally to form a cylinder.
Seal the edges by pressing them gently with your fingers. You can also use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative effect.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash to encourage browning.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper over the top of each roll.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy these delightful Cheese and Ham Rolls!
