Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smoothen any creases. If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it is fully thawed.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 2cm border on all sides.
Layer the vegetarian ham slices evenly over the cream cheese mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetarian ham slices.
Starting from one long edge, gently roll up the pastry into a log. Use the border to seal the roll tightly.
Beat the egg with the milk in a small bowl, creating an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top and sides of the roll.
Carefully transfer the roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Allow the roll to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 2cm thick pieces.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or appetizer.
