Ingredients




1 roll of puff pastry with margarine ( or with butter) if 
green pesto, 1 little pot of 190 gr.  I use about half of it.
about 150 gr. de - fatted ham, cut into halves, rind & fat removed
about 150 gr. half hard cheese, rind removed & cut up into slices

Preparation

1 Take your pre-rolled puff pastry & take it out of the package. 2 Roll it all out. My puff pastry is a round form. 3 Then , take a palet knife & smear pesto all around the base of the pastry in 1 layer. It all has to be covered, just leave 0,5 cm free of the outer edges. 4 Then, cover in 1 layer the cheese on the pesto. Also leave the 0,5 cm from the edges free. 5 Lay the pieces of ham in 1 layer on top of the cheese. Also, leave the 0,5 cm from the edges free. 6 Now, carefully, roll everything up. Do not break the dough! Do not make holes! 7 When that is done, place the roll in kitchen foil & close the edges. Place it on a large plate & put it in the fridge for 1 til 3 hours to let the ingredients mingle. 8 It is at his best when it was for 3 hours in the fridge. 9 After that, take it out of the fridge. 10 Take away the foil & place the roll on a chopping board. 11 Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. 12 Cut the roll into slices of 1 finger thick. 13 Take a non - stick baking sheet like Silpat & place on a baking tray. 14 Place the rolls cut side down on the sheet. Leave 1,5 or 2 cm between the rolls because they will swell when they are baked. 15 Bake for 20 til 25 minutes in the oven. Mostly, it will be 25 minutes. Bake until swollen & golden brown. 16 Take them out of the oven & place them on a wire rack to cool. 17 You can serve them half warm or cold. Even the next day, they are still delicious! 18 Enjoy!! This is lovely with a good glass of Champagene or Cava!
