Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
8 ounces mortadella, cut into 1/2-by-1/2-by-2 1/2-inch batons
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup (approximately 2 ounces) grated Gruyere
Dijon mustard, for serving, optional

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Unfold the sheet of puff pastry and roll into an 11-inch square.
3

Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick strips.
4

Wrap each baton of mortadella in one strip of puff pastry, overlapping the dough slightly with each wrap-around to create a spiral appearance in the dough while leaving the mortadella ends exposed.
5

Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart.
6

Brush each roll with egg and top with a good pinch of Gruyere.
7

Bake until golden brown and puffed, 25 minutes.
8

Serve warm, with mustard if desired.
