Roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry on a floured surface into a 10x12 inches rectangle.
Spread 1.5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly over the pastry, leaving a ½-inch border.
Layer 6 slices of deli ham over the mustard, then sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese on top.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log shape and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the chilled logs into ½-inch thick rounds and space them on the baking sheets.
Bake for about 18 minutes until golden brown.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
