How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step
Roll out the puff pastry, then cut into 1½-inch-wide strips.
3. Step
Brush the raspberry jam over each strip.
4. Step
Arrange a layer of half-slices of ham on a pastry strip with the straight edges at the center of the strip and the curved edges hanging over the edge of the pastry. Fold the exposed pastry over the ham. Sprinkle some Gruyère cheese over the ham. Starting from one short end, roll the pastry into a tight spiral. Secure the end with a toothpick, if desired. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
5. Step
Brush the pastry roses with the beaten egg.
6. Step
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Step
Transfer the pastry roses to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.
