Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, ham, green onions, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread the ham and cheese mixture evenly across the pastry.
Step 4: Starting from one edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Slice into 8–10 pieces.
Step 5: Place rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking tray. Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 6: Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Secrets
-
Chill the filled roll for 10 minutes before slicing for neater cuts.
-
Use flavored cream cheese (like garlic & herb) for extra taste.
-
For a crunchier top, sprinkle sesame seeds or grated parmesan before baking.
Serving & Storage
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or light meal with a fresh salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to regain crispiness.
Variations
-
Swap ham for shredded chicken or turkey.
-
Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor.
-
Make a vegetarian version with spinach and feta instead of ham.
