Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 150 grams Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle, approximately 12x10 inches (30x25 cm).
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border along the edges.
Layer the cooked ham evenly over the mustard. Follow with an even layer of Swiss cheese slices.
Sprinkle chopped parsley and dried oregano over the cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the puff pastry into a tight log. Seal the edges and edges of the log by pinching them together gently.
Place the rolled strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the surface of the strudel with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on the top of the strudel to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove the strudel from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Slice the strudel into 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
