Prosciutto Pinwheels

I have also made this with turkey slices and cheddar cheese. You can be creative with the filling.

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 (you can also buy a can of roasted peppers, pat the peppers dry and slice)—See recipe for roasted peppers below.

Preheat oven to 400

On a lightly floured surface arrange pastry sheet with the short side facing you and cut it in half

Arrange a half of the sheet with the long side facing you and brush edge of far side with some egg.

Put 1/2 of the prosciutto evenly on top of the pastry, avoiding egg-brushed edge.

Put 1/2 of the pepper strips on top of prosciutto

Starting with the side nearest you, roll pastry and wrap in plastic. Make the other log in the same way.

Refrigerate with seam sides down, until firm, at least 20 minutes

Cut logs into 1/2 inch-thick slices and arrange cut side down, on parchment lined baking sheet

Bake Pinwheels in batches until golden about 14-16 minutes.

How to Roast a pepper

Put pepper on a cookie sheet (do not line with parchment as it will burn)

Brush with a little olive oil

Broil the pepper in oven till pepper is charred on all sides, you will need to turn it during cooking

Remove from oven

Put pepper into a plastic zip bad, remove the air, and close for 5-10 minutes

After 10 minutes remove from bag and peal the pepper

Remove the seeds and chop

This can also be done on a gas grill outside over high flame (same process
