Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry

4 slices ham

4 slices cheddar cheese

1 tbsp mustard

1 unit egg

½ tbsp water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface until it is slightly larger in size.

Spread mustard evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a margin along the edges unsmeared.

Arrange the ham slices followed by cheese slices on the mustard-covered pastry.

Carefully roll up the puff pastry into a log, sealing the edges by brushing with a beaten egg.

Slice the log into equal pieces and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the ham and cheese sticks cool for a few minutes before serving them warm.
