These savory ham and cheese swirls are a delightful appetizer or snack, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.
Keep the pastry chilled until ready to use for easier handling.
Evenly spread the shredded cheese over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the cheese evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Layer the ham slices over the cheese, covering the entire surface.
Overlap the ham slices slightly for complete coverage.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley evenly over the ham.
Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor and color.
Starting from one long side, roll the pastry tightly into a log and press the seam to seal.
Roll tightly to ensure the swirls hold their shape during baking.
Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts without squishing the pastry.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Keep an eye on the swirls during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Allow the swirls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
