Unfold the puff pastry into the center of the plastic, then roll it into a rectangle of 10 by 12 inches.
Spread it with one and a half of a table spoon of mustard, leave a half of an inch space on all sides. Sprinkle a cup of cheese on them.
Roll off the pastry into a log, starting at the edge. Make the ends even, use the plastic wrap to wrap the log tightly.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Do the process again with another sheet of puff pastry and the remaining mustard, ham and cheese.
