The Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the puff pastry sheet on a cutting board and using a rolling pin flatten and roll the pastry a little thinner so it is easier to roll.  Cut the dough into 4 strips along the longer side and separate them so you have room to work with each piece.

Using a pastry brush, cover each strip with honey mustard sauce. Lay the ham and then the brie on top across the whole length of pastry. Roll each strip up creating a flower and place in prepared muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with extra mustard on the side.

Recipe Tips:

• Make sure you roll the pastry tight and push to the bottom of the muffin tin. You don't want them to open up too much.
• When you think they are done in the oven, give them another 5 minutes. You want to make sure they cook through in the center.

‍

Make Ahead:

• You can definitely put your pastry together ahead of time but I suggest cooking the day of the event for best crispness.
• The roses can be made and frozen stored in the muffin 2-3 weeks before. Take directly out of the freezer into the oven.

‍

‍

Storing tips:

• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
