Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Deli ham
- 200 grams Swiss cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets into rectangles, if not already pre-rolled, to about 3mm thickness.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into rectangles of approximately 10cm x 15cm.
Place a slice of deli ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each pastry rectangle, ensuring there is a small border of pastry around the edges.
Roll up the pastry tightly, starting from one of the short sides, to create a small cylinder. Ensure the seam side is down to prevent unrolling during baking.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the surface of each roll to give them a golden crust when baked.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each Cubanito for extra flavor and texture.
Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the Cubanitos cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
