Ingredients
- Puff pastry
- 1 sheet, thawed
- Egg
- 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- Swiss cheese
- 4 ounces, sliced
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
- Pastrami
- 8 ounces, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12x12 inch square.
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the puff pastry, ensuring to cover it completely for maximum flavor.
- Arrange the pastrami slices over the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to ensure a good seal.
- Layer the Swiss cheese over the pastrami, distributing it evenly.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the puff pastry like a jelly roll, making sure to keep the filling tightly packed.
- Seal the edge of the roll with the beaten egg to prevent it from unraveling during baking.
- Cut the roll into 1-inch slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion.
- Brush the tops of the slices with the remaining beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden color.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding sliced pickles or jalapeños to the filling.
- You can substitute the Swiss cheese with provolone or cheddar for a different flavor.
- Serve with a side of spicy mustard or a tangy dipping sauce for added flavor.
