Steps:
- Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your counter (I pressed two long sheets together at the edges to create a single larger sheet). Unfold the first sheet of puff pastry in the center of the plastic, then roll it into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Spread with 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Lay 6 ham slices on top, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
- Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log. Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the log with the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining mustard, ham, and cheese. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Once the log has chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices. (If each log is 12 inches, you will get 24 rolls from each one). Arrange the rolls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the puff pastry is light golden brown and the cheese is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with chopped thyme, parsley, or chives as desired. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham. A good-quality ham will make all the difference in this recipe. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a good flavor. You can use either a bone-in or boneless ham, but a boneless ham will be easier to work with.
- Use a variety of cheeses. This recipe calls for a combination of cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but these three cheeses will give you a delicious and gooey filling.
- Don't overcook the ham. The ham is already cooked, so you just need to heat it through. Overcooking the ham will make it dry and tough.
- Serve the ham and cheese appetizer immediately. This appetizer is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can assemble it and then bake it just before serving.
Conclusion:
This baked ham and cheese appetizer is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
