Steps for Preparing Pinwheels
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to create a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Spread an even layer of Dijon mustard over the surfaced puff pastry, then layer ham and cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  4. Starting from one end, tightly roll the pastry into a log shape and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. After chilling, slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving warm.
