Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry, then cut into 1½-inch-wide strips.
  3. Brush the raspberry jam over each strip.
  4. 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. Brush the pastry roses with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the pastry roses to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.
  8. Enjoy.
