Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces thinly sliced deli ham
4 ounces Gruyère cheese grated (about 1 cup)
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
Lightly flour your counter and roll the puff pastry into a rectangle, roughly 12 by 16 inches. Spread the mustard evenly over the entire surface. Layer the ham on top, followed by the cheese. Sprinkle with a little black pepper.
Beginning at one of the short ends, roll the pastry up into a tight log. Slice off the uneven ends, then cut the log into ½-inch slices (giving you about 20 pieces). Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet and place them in the freezer for five minutes to firm up.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve warm or at room temperature.
