Ingredients

  • 2 sheets Puff pastry store bought, defrosted
  • 1/4 lbs Serrano Ham thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Cured Mahon-Menorca Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Cured Mahon-Menorca Cheese shredded or 20 thin slices
  • 4 tbsp Fig Jam up to 5 tablespoon
  • 1 Egg beaten

Instructions

  • Defrost puff pastry according to instructions;
  • Heat up the oven to 400F;
  • Place defrosted puff pastry sheets on lightly floured surface and slightly roll the pastry in each direction;
  • Spread 2 to 2,5 tablespoon of fig jam on each pastry sheet leaving half an inch from the edges;
  • Add slices of Serrano ham on both sheets;
  • Sprinkle shredded ¼ cup of Cured Mahon-Menorca Cheese on each sheet;
  • Add either sliced or shredded Semi-Cured Mahon-Menorca Cheese on each sheet;
  • Roll each sheet starting from one edge and stopping in the middle and then rolling from the other side;
  • Wrap both pastry rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or ideally for 40 minutes;
  • Remove rolls from the fridge, discard plastic wrap and cut out the endings of the dough and then cut the dough into about ½ inch slices (you should have between 10 and 12 slices from each roll)
  • Place the slices flat surface up on the baking sheet with parchment paper approximately one inch apart;
  • Brush the slices with egg wash;
  • Bake for 15 minutes on the middle rack; Serve warm

Notes

  1. If you cannot find Serrano ham, substitute it with Prosciutto;
  2. You can cut this recipe in half and only use one sheet of pastry if your party is smaller;
  3. If you like the Pinwheels to be more on a sweet side you can spread more fig jam on each sheet.
