Layer the thinly sliced ham evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Then, sprinkle a generous lluvia de queso with the shredded Gruyere cheese over the ham. We want every bite to be packed with flavor!

Starting from the long edge opposite the border you left, carefully and tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Once rolled, gently pinch the seam to seal it. You've got this!

In another small bowl, whisk together the large egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry log with the egg wash. This will give us that beautiful golden-brown crust.
