Instructions

Tap a number to check off the step, and a time to start a timer.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface. If it's rolled up, gently unroll it to avoid tearing it.
Arrange the ham slices over the entire surface of the dough, lining them up so they cover it well.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the ham. Add herbes de Provence or pepper if you like.
Roll the dough up starting from one edge until you form a tight cylinder.
Cut the roll into slices 2-3 cm thick to form small rolls.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush each roll with egg yolk using the pastry brush so they turn golden while baking.
Bake for until the rolls are deep golden and crispy.
Take out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes before enjoying!

Good to know

Chef's tip

For even tastier rolls, add a thin layer of mustard between the ham and the cheese before rolling the dough! It adds a spicy touch that brightens the flavor of your puff pastry rolls. 🌶️

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well. Raw: Wrap individually, up to 2 months. Baked: Let cool, wrap, up to 1 month.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Assemble the rolls the day before, then bake on the same day for optimal crispness. Or bake fully the day before and reheat.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat in the oven (160°C, 10-15 min) or air fryer (150°C, 8-10 min) to bring back the crispness. Microwave not recommended (softens the pastry).

Variations

Add a layer of mustard on the dough before the ham.
Replace the cooked ham with smoked ham or smoked salmon.
Sprinkle with herbes de Provence before rolling.

Mistakes to avoid

Rolling too loosely: roll the dough into a tight cylinder.
Cutting too thin: slice rounds 2-3 cm thick.
Crowding the rolls on the baking sheet: space them out slightly.
