PROSCIUTTO PINWHEELS WITH GRUYERE CHEESE AND PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove 1 package of Puff Pastry from freezer (each package contains 2 sheets). Thaw the Puff Pastry sheets for 45 minutes.

• Unfold both sheets of Puff Pastry once they have slightly thawed. Lightly flour a flat surface and roll them out slightly with a rolling pin. Do not roll them out completely. Simply roll out the creases in the pastry sheets.
• Pierce each piece of Puff Pastry with a fork 10-12 times. This will prevent the pastry from 'puffing' as it bakes and will allow the pinwheels to stay together.
• Add 1/2-3/4 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese to each pastry sheet. Place half of the prosciutto pieces on each pastry sheet. Make sure the cheese and prosciutto reaches the edges of each pastry sheet.
• Roll each of the pastry sheets tightly into a 'log' shape.

Carefully zip the bag shut, and allow the pepper to sweat for 5 minutes. Use oven mitts to prevent getting burned while you handle the bag in the next step of sliding the pepper from the bag into a bowl filled with a couple of inches of ice water.
