Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed overnight in the refrigerator)
- 1/2 cup Basil Pesto (or flavored pesto of your choice or 1/4 cup each, divided)
- 10 slices prosciutto (divided (1, 5-oz packet)
- 1 1/2 cups freshly shredded Mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- Chopped fresh basil (optional for serving)
Preparation

Cooking
- Roll.
- Unfold the first sheet of puff pastry on a work surface (if the pastry is sticky, lightly dust the work surface first).
- Roll it into a 10x12-inch (25x30cm) rectangle.
- Spread with 1/4 cup of pesto leaving a 1/2-inch (5cm) border on all sides.
- Lay 5 prosciutto slices on top, overlapping as needed.
- Sprinkle with 3/4 cup Mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
- Wrap.
- Starting at the long (12-inch) edge, roll the puff pastry into a log.
- Press it lightly as you go so that the filling rolls inside the pastry.
- Trim the ends so that they are even, then tightly wrap the log with the plastic wrap.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day.
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry, and remaining pesto (if using 2 types of pesto, use the second variety here), prosciutto, and cheeses.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Bake.
- Once the logs have chilled, using a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each log into 1/2-inch (5cm)-wide slices.
- (If each log is 12 inches, you will get 24 rolls from each roll—if you are worried about the recipe yield, be sure to measure).
- Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet spiral-side up, spacing each 1-inch (3cm) apart.
- Bake until the puff pastry is flaky and golden brown and the cheese is hot and bubbly, about 18 minutes.
- Immediately sprinkle with chopped basil as desired.
- Let cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
