MAKES 40 TO 45 PALMIERS

Roll out the puff pastry on a work surface to a 10x10-inch square. Brush with a small amount of the tomato paste.

Lay prosciutto over the puff pastry and dust with the cheese. Roll each long side of pastry toward the center until they meet. Fold one over the other. Slice the pastry crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces and place cut side down on parchment-lined sheet pans. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the pastries as they bake to help them stay flat. Remove the top piece for the last few minutes to allow the palmier tops to brown.

Tip: Make the palmiers in batches ahead of time and store them unbaked in the freezer. Tightly wrap the logs in plastic wrap until ready to serve, slice and bake as needed. Use a serrated knife to slice the frozen logs.
