What You Need

1 egg

1 Tbsp. water

1 frozen pre-rolled puff pastry sheet (1/2 of 450-g pkg.), thawed

1/4 cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese, divided

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

170 g deli ham (about 11 slices)

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

BEAT egg and water until blended; set aside. Roll out pastry sheet on lightly floured surface into 14x10-inch rectangle; cut lengthwise in half. Brush lightly with some of the egg wash.

SPRINKLE 1 pastry piece with 3 Tbsp. cheese and pepper; top with meat. Cover with remaining pastry piece, egg-side down. Roll gently with rolling pin to seal. Brush with half of the remaining egg wash.

ROLL up tightly to form 14-inch log, starting at one long side. Cut log crosswise into 24 slices. Place, cut-sides down, on parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg wash; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

BAKE 12 to 14 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Very good and very tasty. I used prosciutto instead of regular deli ham, and also added thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Consequently, it was a bit chunkier than the instructions intend, and I ended up cutting them a bit thicker. Next time I make them, I'm going to try with feta cheese and olive paste.

This was a huge hit! I used rosemary ham, which only added more flavour! The only thing I would change is to slice them a bit thicker than called for. Unless I did something wrong, then these were just a bit too thin and hard to slice if you try to cut them in to the 24 slices as mentioned. Otherwise, these taste fantastic and are very easy to make! A great make-ahead appetizer!

Very tasty! I made it using phillo dough instead of puff pastry for a lighter taste
