Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust your work surface lightly with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle if it isn’t pre-rolled.
Lay the prosciutto slices evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly across the top of the prosciutto.
Distribute the fresh arugula in a thin, even layer over the cheese.
Starting from the longer side of the rectangle, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal spirals.
Place the spirals cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to expand while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of each spiral with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and puffed.
While the spirals are baking, make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and reaches a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the spirals from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the spirals before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
