These crispy ham and cheese pinwheel roll-ups feature flaky puff pastry wrapped around savory ham and melty cheese, served with a tangy honey mustard dip. Perfect for quick snacks, appetizers, or casual lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed (about 9x9 inches each)
  • 8 ounces deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or a blend of mozzarella and gouda)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Honey Mustard Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Optional add-ins:
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary, chopped
  • Spicy mustard
  • Spinach leaves or thinly sliced bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar (if using), salt, and pepper to make the honey mustard sauce. Set aside.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll each puff pastry sheet to smooth creases and slightly enlarge to about 12×12 inches.
  4. Brush each pastry sheet with melted butter.
  5. Layer the ham evenly over each pastry sheet, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides. Add optional herbs or spinach if desired.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the ham.
  7. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log, pressing the border to seal.
  8. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  9. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  10. Brush the tops with a little more melted butter.
  11. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  13. Serve warm with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold for best puffing; do not overfill with ham or cheese to avoid sogginess; seal edges firmly to keep pinwheels intact; watch oven closely to prevent burning; reheat in oven to maintain crispness; can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
