Cheese and Ham Puff Pastry Swirls

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  First, preheat the oven to 190 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a sheet approximately (20 cm × 30 cm). If you have a pre-prepared sheet, you don't need to roll the dough.

  Peel the garlic and press it into a small bowl. Peel the onion, chop it finely, and add it to the bowl with the garlic along with the Provençal herbs, finely chopped basil, ketchup, and canned tomatoes. Mix well and spread the resulting mixture over the entire surface of the dough sheet using the back of a spoon.

  Along the wider length of the dough, layer 1 slice of Edam cheese followed by 1 slice of ham from bottom to top in rows. Continue in this manner until all the cheese and ham are used. Roll the prepared dough lengthwise and then cut it into 15 pieces using a serrated knife.

  Place each swirl cut side down on the baking tray and in a small bowl, mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk and 2 teaspoons of oregano. Use a pastry brush to coat the swirls with the egg mixture.

  Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the swirls for 30–35 minutes at 180–190 °C.

  After baking, remove the tray from the oven and let the swirls cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
