  • 8 to 10 slices baked ham deli meat

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

  1. Roll out thawed pastry enough to flatten seams and stretch it slightly.

  2. Spread a thin layer of mustard over dough; Place a single layer of ham; Top with shredded Parmesan.

  3. Begin rolling up the dough starting at the short end.
