How to prepare Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels

Let’s start preparing the Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pinwheels. Thinly slice the smoked cheese, unroll the puff pastry sheet on your work surface but leave its parchment paper, arrange the short side in front of you and lay the cheese slices on half of the puff pastry.
Place the cooked ham on top of the cheese
and fold the puff pastry.
With a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into strips about 0.4 inch wide,
Take each strip and twist it,
then roll it up to form the pinwheels,
after you have prepared them all, place them on the oven tray, brush them with some water
and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 355°F for 20 minutes. When golden, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
