      Instructions for making Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Spread Mustard (Optional): If you\u2019re using mustard, spread it evenly over the surface of the puff pastry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Layer the Ham and Cheese: Place the thinly sliced ham evenly over the pastry, followed by the shredded cheese. If using dried herbs, sprinkle them over the cheese for added flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Roll the Pastry: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry tightly into a log shape. Make sure to roll it evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Slice the Log: Once rolled, slice the log into about 1-inch thick pinwheels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                          \n
