Ingredients

• puff pastry sheet buy good quality frozen puff pastry
• dozen thinly sliced parma ham or any cured meat like Mortadella
• one cup grated sharp Cheddar Cheese
• one egg yolk plus a little water for egg wash combine the two and whisk together

Basil Pesto (optional)

• 2 cups fresh basil
• 1/2 cup or so olive oil
• 1/2 clove of garlic
• pinch of kosher salt

Directions

Make the pesto, combine all ingredients into a food processor and blitz together until a nice loose paste. Add more oil if its to thick.

Roll out your puff pastry and put a layer of the parma ham followed by the grated cheddar cheese and finish with some of the pesto drizzled on top.

Now roll it up like you would a carpet and cut into one inch rounds (as shown in my photos) and brush with the egg wash.

Bake @400 degrees until golden brown, take out and cool on a rack. That's it easy kids!
