Monte Cristo Pinwheels

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Servings: 24 pinwheels

Ingredients

  • 1 box frozen puff pastry 2 sheets, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 16 slices thin black forest ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare two baking sheets by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry over a clean counter. Roll out with a rolling pin to smooth out the pastry but do not thin out the pastry. Spread pastry with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Using an offset spatula can help you spread the mustard evenly. Lay 8 slices of ham in an even layer over the mustard, followed by the 6 slices of Swiss cheese.
  • Starting at one edge of the pastry, tightly roll up the dough and toppings into a log. Slice the log into 4 even quarters, and then slice each quarter into 3 pieces, giving you 12 wheels. Using a serrated knife will make this process mess-free and keep the wheels in tact. Repeat with other sheet of pastry and the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place pinwheels on prepared baking sheet, cut side up, with 12 pinwheels per baking sheet. Bake until pastry has turned golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and dust the pinwheels with powdered sugar. Place raspberry jam in a ramekin and use a fork to help break up the jam. Serve with the pinwheels.
