Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet (thawed)
- 3 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices thinly sliced deli ham or turkey
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.
Spread the basil pesto evenly over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pesto, distributing it evenly.
Layer the thinly sliced deli ham (or turkey) on top of the cheese, covering the entire surface.
Starting from one of the long sides of the rectangle, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Use the edge of the parchment paper underneath to help guide the roll if needed.
Once rolled, place the pastry log seam-side down. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even slices.
Transfer the slices to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of each roll to encourage browning during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rollups are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the rollups cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal. Enjoy!
