I was looking for a recipe to use my homemade prosciutto in, and came across Prosciutto and Gruyère Pastry Pinwheels at Epicurious. My wife doesn't care for Swiss cheeses so I used Asiago instead and I left out the basil because I didn't have any. These are easy and are fantastic.

Ingredients

* 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
* 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
* 3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)
* 1 egg, beaten to blend

Preparation

Place pastry sheet on work surface. Cut in half, forming two 9 1/2x4 3/4-inch rectangles. Arrange half of prosciutto on 1 rectangle, leaving 1/2-inch border along 1 side. Sprinkle prosciutto with half of cheese. Brush plain border with egg glaze. Starting at long side opposite border, roll up pastry jelly-roll style, pressing gently to seal long edges. Wrap in plastic. Repeat with remaining pastry, prosciutto, cheese, and egg to form second log. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Arrange rounds on prepared sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Bake 1 sheet at a time until pastries are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Using metal spatula, transfer pastries to racks and cool slightly. Serve warm.
