Step-by-step

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Lay out your puff pastry squares and spread some mustard, diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.
• Roll up your cold cuts and place on top of the mustard.
• Then roll up tightly, gently pulling the corner and tucking underneath so it doesn't unroll while baking.
• Brush with duck sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds if you wish.
• Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
