Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces frozen puff pastry sheets
- 8 slices deli ham, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions and gently roll them out on a lightly floured surface until they are slightly larger in size.
Brush Dijon mustard evenly over each puff pastry sheet, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer 4 slices of deli ham and 4 slices of Swiss cheese on top of one of the puff pastry sheets. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Carefully roll up each puff pastry sheet tightly, starting from one of the shorter ends to create a log. Ensure that the seam is sealed by pinching it together.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the rolled logs and sprinkle with poppy seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1-inch pieces and place them cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the strudels are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
