  • 1 egg, for egg wash

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for flavor boost)

4. Slice and twist

  • Cut into 1-inch wide strips.

  • Gently twist each strip into spirals.

5. Apply egg wash

  • Beat the egg and brush over each twist for a golden crust.

6. Bake

  • Arrange on your baking sheet.

  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.


Serve Warm!

Tips & Variations:

  • Add herbs: Sprinkle dried oregano, thyme, or parsley before baking.

  • Make it spicy: Add chili flakes or a swipe of hot sauce under the ham.

  • Try different combos: Turkey & mozzarella, or spinach & feta are great alternatives!


Storage & Reheating:

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

  • Reheat: 5–7 mins in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F (175°C) to re-crisp.
