Cheese and Ham Spirals

Recipe from Kraft. Makes 24 spirals.



1 egg
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne)
8 slices shaved smoked or brown sugar ham

Preheat oven to 400. Beat egg and 1 Tbsp water with wire whisk until blended; set aside. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 14 x 10-inch rectangle; cut in half lengthwise. Brush both pastry halves lightly with some of the egg mixture.

Sprinkle 3 Tbsp of the cheese and the pepper evenly over 1 of the pastry pieces; cover with ham slices. Place remaining pastry piece, egg side down, over ham. Brush with additional egg mixture. Roll gently with rolling pin to seal.

Roll in jelly-roll fashion to make a 14-inch log. Cut into 24 equal slices. Place, cut side down, on parchment covered baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp cheese.

Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
