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:
- To ensure even cooking, thinly slice the turkey and ham. This will help the roll-ups cook evenly and prevent the edges from becoming overcooked while the center remains raw.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the bread. A dull knife can tear the bread and make it difficult to roll up.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bread. This will help to hold the roll-ups together and prevent them from falling apart.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish. This will help to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
- Bake the roll-ups until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the roll-ups are cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
