Prosciutto Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten lightly
- 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 red pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded, sliced 1-inch thick
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets.
- On a lightly floured surface arrange pastry sheet with a short side facing you and cut in half crosswise.
- Arrange a half of the sheet with a long side facing you and brush edge of far side with some egg. Arrange 1/2 the prosciutto evenly on top of pastry, avoiding egg-brushed edge. Lay 1/2 the pepper strips lengthwise along side of pastry facing you.
- Starting with side nearest you, roll pastry jelly-roll fashion and wrap in waxed paper. Make another log in same manner.
- Chill pastry logs, seam sides down, until firm, at least 20 minutes
- Cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pinwheels and arrange, cut sides down, 1-inch apart on baking sheets.
- Bake pinwheels in batches in middle of oven until golden, about 14 to 16 minutes.
- Transfer pinwheels to a rack and cool slightly.
