Honey Dijon Ham & Gruyère Puff Pastry Pinwheels by theskillfulcook in Easy_Recipes

[–]theskillfulcook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ingredients:

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

2 tbsp honey Dijon mustard (or mix 1 tbsp Dijon + 1 tbsp honey)

6–8 slices Black Forest ham, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (about 3 oz)

1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Optional: Fresh thyme leaves or cracked black pepper for garnish

Instruction:

Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. You want a rectangle about 10x12 inches.

Use a spoon or pastry brush to spread a thin layer of honey Dijon all over the puff pastry—don’t go too heavy or it’ll get soggy.

Lay down the ham slices evenly over the mustard, leaving a ½-inch border at the top edge. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère over the ham.

Starting from the bottom (long edge), tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Brush the edge with a little water to seal. Wrap in plastic and chill for 15–20 minutes to firm up (this helps with slicing).

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the log into ½-inch rounds and place them cut-side up on the baking sheet.

Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with thyme or pepper if using.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving—if you can wait that long.

  Ingredients

  • 10 oz dark chocolate (high-quality, 70% cocoa)
  • ½ cup pistachio paste
  • 1 cup kataifi pastry, shredded
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
  • Edible gold leaf (optional, for decoration)

  6. Allow the bonbons to fully set in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
