Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

1 cup thinly sliced ham

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.

      In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.

        Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry.

          Layer the sliced ham evenly across the cream cheese mixture, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

            Starting from one end, carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log shape.

              Slice the log into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.

                Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one for expansion.

                  Brush the tops of each pinwheel with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

                    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.

                      Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

                        Garnish with freshly chopped herbs if desired before serving.
