Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the puff pastry roll and roll it out on a clear surface.
13.2 oz roll puff pastry
Add the ham and cheese in layers on top of the rolled out puff pastry.
6-8 slices honey ham deli meat, 6-8 slices swiss cheese
Starting on the long side, tightly roll the pastry up to create a ham and cheese roll, similar to how you'd make a cinnamon roll.
Slice the ham and cheese roll into twelve equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Take six of those spirals and put them on the prepared baking sheet.
Take the other six and cut them in half using a sharp knife. Pinch the bottom of the cut halves closed (to make small circles), then carefully place the halves above the full spirals on the baking sheet, making bunny ears on either side of the top of roll.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Then stir the mustard into the butter to create a mustard butter.
2 TBS butter, 1 TBS dijon mustard
Brush the mustard butter on top of the bunnies using a silicone basting brush.
Bake the entire tray of ham and cheese bunnies for 15-20 minutes or until the bunnies are golden brown. Then garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
1 tsp fresh chopped parsley
Serve the bunnies warm on their own or with additional mustard butter (or honey butter is also great) for dipping.

Mix up the meat and cheese! Try any of your favorites or make them with something you know your guests will enjoy!

Sprinkle with fresh parsley as soon as they get out of the oven for a little extra garnish.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
