| | Directions | | Preheat oven to 400. Beat egg and 1 Tbsp water with wire whisk until blended; set aside. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 14x10 inch rectangle; cut in half lengthwise (you will have two long narrow sections). Brush both pastry halves lightly with some of the egg mixture. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan and the pepper evenly over 1 of the pastry pieces; cover with ham slices. Place remaining pastry piece, egg side down, over ham. Brush top with additional egg mixture. Roll gently with rolling pin to seal. Roll in jelly-roll fashion to make a 14-inch log. Cut into 24 equal slices. Place, cut side down, on parchment-covered baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. (This can be made weeks in advance. Just prepare, wrap securely and freeze. Defrost and bake as directed to serve). |
