02 - Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured work surface.
03 - Evenly spread Dijon mustard over the pastry, if using.

05 - Scatter grated cheese uniformly over the ham, then season lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
06 - Starting at the long edge without the border, tightly roll the pastry into a log, sealing the edge with a bit of beaten egg.
07 - Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 16 even pieces.
08 - Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
