Ingredients

Pastry & Base
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Filling
- 4 oz cooked ham, thinly sliced or chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, sauté garlic and spinach over medium heat until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Roll: Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the pastry. Layer ham slices on top, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly.
Roll the Pastry: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the pastry into a tight log. Pinch edges to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over the top of the roll to create a golden, shiny finish.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Cool & Slice: Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange on a serving platter.
Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

Creative Notes & Variations

Cheese Options: For extra flavor, try Gruyère, cheddar, or Fontina instead of mozzarella.
Vegetable Add-Ins: Mushrooms, bell peppers, or caramelized onions work beautifully.
Make Ahead: Assemble the roll the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with fresh fruit, a light salad, or a cup of coffee for the perfect brunch spread.
