Savory Ham & Cheese Palmiers

 

1 sheet (about 9 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Fresh Thyme

4 ounces very thinly sliced good-quality baked ham, such as Black Forest

1 cup (2 ounce) freshly and finely grated Parmesan cheese

 

Roll pastry into 12-inch square then brush with mustard. Mince 2 teaspoons thyme and sprinkle over top. Lay ham evenly over top to edge of pastry and sprinkle with Parmesan. Roll up both sides of dough until they meet in the middle. Wrap log of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim ends of log, then slice into 1/3-inch-thick pieces with sharp knife. Lay on prepared sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Transfer palmiers to wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
