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 puff pastry sheet into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
Arrange the slices of prosciutto evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the prosciutto.
Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log shape. Place the log seam-side down and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled pastry log into 12 even wheels, approximately 1 inch thick each.
Arrange the pastry wheels cut-side up on the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each wheel.
Brush the tops of the wheels with the egg wash to encourage a golden color during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the pastry wheels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or snack.
