Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Low sodium deli ham slices
- 8 pieces Low sodium cheese slices
- 1 sheet Whole wheat puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the whole wheat puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. It should be approximately 10x12 inches in size.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the entire surface of the pastry sheet.
Lay the low sodium ham slices evenly over the mustard-covered pastry, leaving about a half-inch margin on one of the longer sides for sealing. Then, layer the low sodium cheese slices over the ham.
Starting from the longer side opposite the margin, carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log to encase the ham and cheese. Ensure the seam is on the bottom.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the top and sides of the roll. This will give it a golden color when baked.
Sprinkle black pepper and finely chopped fresh parsley over the top of the roll for added flavor.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces, approximately 1.5 inches wide.
Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
