1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step
Cut the puff pastry sheets into 2 x 5-inch (5 cm x 12 cm) rectangles. You should have 16 rectangles total.
3. Step
Make the blueberry peach strudels: In a small bowl, mix together the peach jam and blueberries. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the bottom third of 4 pastry rectangles. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the bottom of the pastry over the filling and continue rolling to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 2 diagonal slits on the top of each strudel and brush with more egg wash.
4. Step
Make the cranberry orange strudels: In a small bowl, mix together the orange marmalade and cranberries. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the bottom third of 4 pastry rectangles.

Cut 2 diagonal slits on the top of each strudel and brush with more egg wash.
5. Step
Make the ham and Swiss strudels: Place 2 Swiss cheese quarters and 2 ham quarters at the bottom third of 4 pastry rectangles. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the bottom of the pastry over the filling and continue rolling to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 2 diagonal slits on the top of each strudel. Brush with more egg wash and top with a pinch of pepper.
6. Step
Make the prosciutto asparagus strudels: Wrap a slice of prosciutto around 2 or 3 pieces of asparagus and place at the bottom third of 4 pastry rectangles. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg, then fold the bottom of the pastry over the filling and continue rolling to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
