Ingredients

• 800 g pre-rolled puff pastry 
• 4 Tbsp ketchup 
• 6 cheese slices (150-200 g)
• 6 white pork ham slices (150-200 g)
• 1 egg 

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Unroll the sheet of puff pastry into a large rectangle directly onto the parchment paper.

Spread the ketchup evenly over half of the puff pastry rectangle.

Layer the cheese slices on top of the ketchup, followed by the pork ham slices, ensuring even coverage.

Carefully fold the other half of the puff pastry rectangle over the ham and cheese filling, creating a sandwich.

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the filled puff pastry into strips approximately 0.75 inches (2 cm) wide.

Twist each strip gently to create a spiral shape, ensuring the filling stays enclosed.

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the surface of each puff pastry twist for a golden finish.

Ensure the twists are spaced evenly apart on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.

Allow the twists to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy warm for the best flavour and texture.
