Ingredients
  • Puff pastry sheet – 3 sheets
  • Ham – thinly sliced 1/2 lbs
  • Pesto – 1 cup (available in gourmet section of any grocery store)
  • Zucchini – 3 thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shredded parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup
Method:
  • Roll out the puff pastry sheets.  Cut each sheet into 4 strips. That will yield 12 strips.
  • Take 1 strip and spread 1 tbsp of pesto. On the top edge of the pastry sheet  layer the thinly sliced zucchini on top of the pesto.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper for taste (optional, usually the pesto and ham has enough salt) sprinkle shredded cheese and then layer with ham.
  • Then fold the bottom edge of the pastry sheet. Then start rolling the sheet into a tight roll. It will look like a rose.
  • This recipe makes 12 roses.
  • Bake them for 45 mins at 400 F oven.
